The Holy Spirit comes to our aid and bears us up in our weakness; for we do not know what prayer to offer nor how to offer it worthily as we ought, but the Spirit Itself goes to meet our supplication and pleads on our behalf with unspeakable yearnings and groanings too deep for utterance.
And The One Who searches the hearts of all people knows what is in the mind of the Holy Spirit because the Spirit intercedes and pleads in behalf of the saints according to God's will.
All things word together for good for thos who love God.

Teresa of Avila - Wisdom on Prayer
A terrific definition on prayer. Another area that we can comment on in OUR OWN wisdom.
"Prayer is not just spending time with God. It is partly that -- but if it ends there, it is fruitless. No, prayer is dynamic. Authentic prayer changes us -- unmasks us -- strips us -- indicates where growth is needed. Authentic prayer never leads to complacency, but needles us -- makes us uneasy at times. It leads us to true self-knowledge, to true humility."

Good News - The Mustard Seed and the Yeast
Alive in the Spirit -- with the mustard seed and the yeast in today's Gosepl: Matt. 13:31-35.
If that isn't the work of the Spirit of Jesus -- with God at work through Jesus and the Holy Spirit! A little mustard seed becoming the "largest of the plants" and a little bit of yeast mixed with three measures of wheat flour until the whole batch was leavened. That is GOOD NEWS and that is what we can expect of God in faith. Imagine, we plant the little seed and get a harvest of plenty! I know that this is the Spirit's word to you and me today. Let's do it and maybe we can share how this works out in our daily experiences.

Loving Surrender to our Loving God
Talking About the Spirit at Work
St. Vincent Pallotti quote: "Put yourself into God's hands ... everything will go well."
Now isn't that the way of the Holy Spirit at work in us -- REALLY being alive in the Spirit.

The Spirit of the Lord is upon you ....
From the Gospel of Luke - "Plugging into the Power"
Let's do some sharing on how the Lord is moving among us in our time -- in 2010!
Luke, Chap 1: To the question of "How can this be....?", the angel gives Mary the answer:
"The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Most High will overshadow you."
What is our experience of this ongoing work of God in our lives?
I would welcome your own experiences in the Lord in this journey of faith.
