S. Ignazio di Loyola
Reflecting on yesterdays awesome experience hearing mass and seeing Pope Benedict in St. Peter’s Square, two Italian phrases continue to resonate with me: amore di Dio and Santo Spirito. Amore di Dio (love of God): if only we could hear and believe what that really means and then translate it into our life experiences and ways of living. Santo spirito (Holy Spirit)--the mystery of faith beyond understanding; without that part of the Trinity, I find I’m just trying to figure out God and manipulate faith and religion to my own selfish purposes.
This morning I visited five different churches. Yes, today is Sunday, but there were more people than I had anticipated attending Mass. Pentecost Sunday? A change in direction? I’ll see how it goes next Sunday.
A friend just asked me to light a candle for the husband of a co-worker of hers. I’m happy to do so. Just ask.
