PentaQuest: Promptings for Pentecost 2025 ( Day 3: PURPOSE )

June 05, 2025:

Key Verse: “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses…” (Acts 1:8)

Reflection: The Holy Spirit gives us courage and clarity in our Christian calling. At the Pentecost, the disciples of Christ were transformed into being ‘lion-hearted’ as they discovered the purpose of their life. Many times, we get lost and fail to grasp the true meaning of life. Our lives are to be lived for God, to share His Love with one another and to help others to love God more!

• What are some of the fears and doubts that prevent me from living for Christ completely?

• What can I do to help others to discover greater meaning and joy in life?

Quote from Early Church Fathers: “The Spirit is not given for idleness but for service - for the building up of the Church and the salvation of souls.” (St. John Chrysostom)

Prayer: O Holy Spirit, fill me with Your Power that I may have greater conviction in the Gospel Message and to be Your powerful witness of Love and Mercy, Amen!

COME HOLY SPIRIT, FILL MY HEART!

COME HOLY SPIRIT, LEAD MY LIFE!

GOD BLESS! LIVE JESUS!
