Happy Pentecost and One Year Blogiversary!
It's my Blogiversary, I have had this blog for one year, that is so crazy! Today is also the Feast of Pentecost when in tongues of Fire the Holy Spirit came to the Apostles and filled them with the grace needed to continue their ministry and the gifts of the holy Spirit! Happy Pentecost Sunday and Happy Birthday to the Church, because today is the Catholic Church's Birthday!
Come, Holy Spirit, Come! And from your celestial home shed a ray of light divine!
This is my first post for my new blog, A Flower of God, I decided to start on the Birthday of the Church, "Happy Birthday!" today is also Pentecost when the Holy Spirit came to the apostles and filled them with a fire that burned forever. I was so inspired with this thought that I wrote a Ballad on it, here it is, "A Fire in My Heart."
Come, Holy Spirit, Come! And from your celestial home shed a ray of light divine!
Prayer to the Holy Spirit
Holy Spirit of light and love, you are the substantial love of the Father and the Son; hear my prayer. Bounteous bestower of most precious gifts, grant me a strong and living faith which makes me accept all revealed truths and shape my conduct in accord with them. Give me a most confident hope in all divine promises which prompts me to abandon myself unreservedly to you and your guidance. Infuse into me a love of perfect goodwill, and act according to God's least desires. Make me love not only my friends but my enemies as well, in imitation of Jesus Christ who through you offered himself on the Cross for all people. Holy Spirit, animate, inspire, and guide me, and help me to be always a true follower of you. Amen.
Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire...And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit!

A Fire in My Heart
"Once weak and scared,
Up alone in my room,
I was totally unprepared,
Until you came
In the form of a dove,
You filled my heart,
With love,
No more did I live in fear,
Now everything
Was clear,
You gave me,
The gift of wisdom,
So I can be
Someone who values You more than the world,
You gave me
The gift of understanding,
So I could finally see
Everything much clearer,
You gave me
The gift of counsel,
So I could be free
To choose what is right,
You gave me
The gift of fortitude,
So that I would never flee
From you,
You gave me
Up alone in my room,
I was totally unprepared,
Until you came
In the form of a dove,
You filled my heart,
With love,
No more did I live in fear,
Now everything
Was clear,
You gave me,
The gift of wisdom,
So I can be
Someone who values You more than the world,
You gave me
The gift of understanding,
So I could finally see
Everything much clearer,
You gave me
The gift of counsel,
So I could be free
To choose what is right,
You gave me
The gift of fortitude,
So that I would never flee
From you,
You gave me
The gift of knowledge,
To understand thee
More and more,
You gave me
The gift of piety,
So that I can be the key
To your glory on earth,
You gave me
The gift of the fear of the Lord,
For I to finally see
The extent of your glory and majesty."
To understand thee
More and more,
You gave me
The gift of piety,
So that I can be the key
To your glory on earth,
You gave me
The gift of the fear of the Lord,
For I to finally see
The extent of your glory and majesty."
You can see the poem "A Fire in My Heart" on Teen Ink:
The Pentecost of the Upper Room in Jerusalem is the beginning, a Beginning which endures. -Pope Francis
Ta, Ta, for now.
