Come Holy Spirit and breathe in us
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
Peace be with us.
Above all at this moment we ask the Lord for the gift of peace in order to be able to live in grace and give praise to God with our life.
As we read and meditate on these words, we do not notice that they are breathing, the same breath that God the Father gave to Adam during the creation of mankind …
Lord God fashioned man with dust from the ground and blew a breath of life into his nostrils and man became a living being.
Genesis 2: 7
Life was born of God out of love, with the breath of the Spirit that generated us and accompanies us daily.
Jesus renews our humanity by blowing on the frightened disciples and gives us the Holy Spirit, the love between God and Jesus and eternal lymph for us all.
With every breath we take, which although involuntary but essential for our existence, we renew the miracle of life, and we are a living and earthly part of the plan of God the Father.
Yes, each of us is part of the piece that God wanted for the eternal kingdom, to love and be loved forever.
And when the daily trials tire us, and time makes us fragile and vulnerable, the spark of eternity, given by God the Creator, is still present in us.
“Breathe into me you, Holy Spirit, so that my thoughts may be holy.
Push me, Holy Spirit, so that my actions may be holy. Attract me, Holy Spirit, because you love holy things. Make me strong, Holy Spirit, to defend holy things. Defend me, Holy Spirit, so that I never lose your Holy Grace.”
St. Augustine
We want to renew in us daily the grace of being able to have the Holy Spirit who breathes in us and we breathe in Him forever.
