We need to put our faith into action by giving the Holy Spirit more room to work. When we get out of ourselves and serve other people, we can draw on the spirit's grace and power. We can ask the Spirit to release his gifts in us so that we can minister His love to people and not just our good intentions.
What good deed is the Spirit inspiring you to do? Perhaps to visit the sick, elderly, or imprisoned. Maybe he is asking you to open your own home inhospitality. He may be leading you to volunteer at your parish, or at a nearby soup kitchen. Or perhaps you know someone who is depressed and lonely, and would deeply apreciate someone to talk to. If you are not sure how to serve, just pray about it - the Spirit will surely lead you to those who need just what you have to give.
"Holy Spirit, fill me anew with your presence. Stir into flame your power within me, that I may be transformed by the fire of your love" AMEN. (Taken from The word among us)
