Today was another blessed Saturday, filled with the grace and anticipation of the upcoming Pentecost. As usual, Sister Mary Claire and I rose early to attend Holy Mass at St. Mary's, where we soaked in the spiritual preparations for this significant feast. Fr. LeRoy delivered a powerful homily, emphasizing that the promise of the Holy Spirit was not just for the Apostles but for every believer who embraces God's divine will and responds to His loving inspirations. He reminded us that "Your Father in Heaven will give the Good Spirit to those that ask Him," a message that resonated deeply as we prepare our hearts for the coming of the Holy Spirit.
In the afternoon, Sister Mary Claire and I made our way into Des Moines to gather groceries for Tom and Judy, making sure they're well-supplied. We also stopped at Ginger's Cafe, where we learned that Ginger was almost out of rhubarb. We promised to bring more next time around, happy to support our friends with these small acts of kindness.
As dusk settled, we nestled into the comfort of our Inner Court prayer wagon, our sanctuary for evening reflections. Wrapped in the serenity of our shared space, we read from the Inner Court prayer book, drawing our day to a close with these words:
"Lord, as we approach Pentecost, fill us anew with Your Holy Spirit. Strengthen us to be instruments of Your love and peace. Bless my beloved Sister Mary Claire, whose wisdom and companionship enrich my life beyond measure. May we always seek Your guidance and cherish the joy of Your presence. Amen."
Every moment with Sister Mary Claire is a blessing, her guidance a light in my path.
Goodnight, Diary. Kathy
