Introductory Prayer

Father, you created me and put me on earth for a purpose. Jesus, you died for me and call me to complete your work. Holy Spirit, you help me to carry out the work for which I was created and called. In your presence and name—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—I begin my reflection. May all my thoughts and inspirations have their origin in you and be directed to your glory.

Thursday of the Second Week of Easter

Optional Memorial of Saint Joseph the Worker

He does not ration his gift of the Spirit.

Literally translated from the Greek, John writes, “He does not give the Spirit by measure.”

There is no limit to God’s reach, God’s power, God’s grace. There exists no vat of grace, neatly poured out into each person’s heart, a little bit at a time, and even then proportionately, so as not to totally run out.

Earlier in John (1:16), we read:

Of the fullness of him, we have all received grace upon grace.

Holy Spirit, Lord, Giver of Life: Help me to believe and accept the unmeasured grace you wish to give to me in love this day!
