They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers ... And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts ..." (Acts 2:42-47)

    Infused In Spirit

    Infused In Spirit

    “As the Lord put on the body…so Christians put on the Holy Spirit, and are at rest” (St. Macarius the Great). Christianity is a divine exchange. The Word of God clothed himself in flesh so that we can cloth ourselves in spirit. Drop an ice cube into lukewarm water. The ice melts and the water cools. The Holy Spirit has a similar impact.

    “You have never had it…tantalizing glimpses, promises never quite fulfilled, echoes that died away just as they caught your ear” (C. S. Lewis). If there is one, distinct work in Eastertide, it is to meditate on joy. Lent was a desert. Christ went out into the desert, and we fasted in order to follow him.
