Editor's note: Father Willy is out of the country this week; we will keep him in our prayers as he travels to promote the work begun by Venerable Patrick Peyton, C.S.C. Busy though he is, Father Willy always remembers the CatholicMom.com family in prayer, and he wanted to offer a reflection to help us prepare our hearts for Pentecost. -Barb "Pentecost" by Fr.

Holy Spirit: Longing for Pentecost

“It’s this that makes My spirit spin, My bones to quake, My blood run thin, My flesh to melt Inside my skin, My very pulse Create a din, It’s this that makes My spirit spin, That heaven is, not up but In!”   -Sister Mary Ignatius, Sacred Heart Magazine, 1942. Each weekday, the homily from Daily Mass at Holy Cross Family Ministries is shared online. Visit Family Rosary: World at Prayer and sign up to receive notifications of each day's homily.
