It may be someone you will meet at the coffee shop or someone that you work with. That's the message of Pentecost that we speak those words - whatever words come as the spirit leads us. This is NOT the age of information. Forget the news And the radio And the blurred screen. This is the time of loaves and fishes.
People are hungry and one good word is bread for a thousand.
The nature of Pentecost is that God has poured out a powerful spirit, strong as the wind and as enduring as fire. This Spirit is poured out upon us all that we might be God's messengers in all ways. It might be through the well-placed word, the tender touch of one's hand, a warm embrace or silently standing alongside one in need. The languages are varied, but the Spirit gives us the message. May we be open to where the Spirit leads and find the courage and creativity to speak the words that touch the needs of those around us.
