Crying for Heaven to Come to Earth
Sometimes my heart aches with longing—for the Spirit to fall, not just on me, but on all of us. There are moments when the lyrics of Bright City’s Come Holy Spirit feel less like a song and more like a cry from deep within:
“Come Holy Spirit, fall on us. Burn like a fire, living flame of love.”
Staying in My Holy Lane
Lately the Lord has been helping me get real with myself. It’s only by knowing myself in a deeper way that I can deepen my relationship with God, and know my true need. It’s the opportunity to grow in humility, thinking of myself less, and allow divine love to stir the generosity in my heart.

The Grace to Keep Knocking
Yesterday’s Gospel (Luke 18:1–8) is sticking with me. It’s tells the story of a persistent widow who refuses to give up. She pleads with a judge for justice, again and again, until he relents—not because he is just, but because she will not stop asking. Jesus shares this parable so that we “ought always to pray and not lose heart.”
