Pentecost

The JPIC International Team has provided this prayer/reflection guide for Pentecost.

"Let’s look at the different periods of our life, when we have received more fullness... when a fuller gift of ourselves has particularly attracted us. Let’s look with humility and without discouragement whether we have been careful to develop the Spirit’s gifts to us."

A wonderful gift which you have given to Egypt, our beautiful land …
This Nile that Pharaoh valued, loved, and looked after for so many years …

This water which is the symbol of the living water for which all thirst …
The water of which you spoke to the Samaritan woman, and which we all ask for …
The water of our baptism, which renews our lives …
