It's the mystery that attracts me and the meal and the prayers which sustain me. For me, it is the Holy Spirit in action and it is both solemn and joyful. At Adelynrood, a retreat house of the Society of the Companions of the Holy Cross in Massachusetts, one needs only to step into the chapel to know the presence of the Holy Spirit. It is almost palpable. And it is the strength and prayers of the companions that have often upheld me throughout many difficult and even joyous times.
Silence is still sacred.
A joy that is deep within. For the Holy Spirit is our comforter and our teacher. Always present to help and guide us. Having the Holy Spirit in my life is refreshing to my soul. Even when things are not up to par in my life, and I feel a little down, with help from the Holy Spirit peace and serenity returns to my heart.
