Acts 15:22-31

It has been decided by the Holy Spirit and us not to burden you beyond these essentials.

Something beautiful is happening in the early church. They are recognizing that the comforter whom Jesus promised is with them. The presence of this Holy Spirit or rather the active listening to the Spirit is what will lead the church for the next two thousand years. The Spirit will influence great people down through the centuries. People like St. Bonaventure, St Cecilia, St Ghandi and St Nelson Mandela. I always pray that we be sensitive to the promptings of the spirit in our lives. Remember no one person or institution owns her. She is courage, fear, love, determination. Think of all the moments you have stepped out in faith. Gods spirit was with you. Yes Spirit of God, lead me, guide me along the way.
