You Never Fail Until You Stop Trying ...Albert Einstein A Spiritual Message
—————————————————
From Henri Nouwen….
The Holy Spirit, whom Jesus promised to his followers, is the
great gift of God. Without the Spirit of Jesus we can do
nothing, but in and through his Spirit we can live free, joyful,
and courageous lives. We cannot pray, but the Spirit of Christ
can pray in us. We cannot create peace and joy, but the Spirit
of Christ can fill us with a peace and joy that is not of this
world. We cannot break through the many barriers that divide
races, sexes, and nations, but the Spirit of Christ unites all
people in the all-embracing love of God. The Spirit of Christ
burns away our many fears and anxieties and sets us free to
move wherever we are sent. That is the great liberation of
Pentecost.
