Encounter: Pray to the Holy Spirit

Encounter the Holy Spirit in a new way today! Pray to the Holy Spirit. It can be as simple as asking, “Come, Holy Spirit” a few times while you pray. It can be a more formal prayer, like the one here. To learn more about the Holy Spirit, check out this brief video.

As a Couple:

Witness: Unplug, Unwind, and Re-Connect

As a Church:

Worshipping at Home on Sunday, May 3: Pre-Mass and Post-Mass Music Playlist

Music is one way to enter more deeply into prayer; as St. Augustine said, “He who sings prays twice.”  Select a song or two to listen to before Mass to help the family focus.  Consider picking a song or two to play throughout the day to continue your celebration, like Good Good Father by Chris Tomlin. Grab a CD or log onto your favorite streaming service and have family members help pick songs that they like.  Check out the Spiritual Closeness playlist for ideas.
