On the second last day of my personal retreat earlier this year, my retreat director suggested that I spend the whole of that day anticipating the gift and presence of the Holy Spirit, just as it happened on the day of Pentecost. This was meant to equip and empower me for the personal mission that God had placed in my heart.
I then decided to make another Labyrinth walk in the compounds of the retreat centre, which had previously offered me very deep insights about my life. Yet halfway through my prayer walk, when nothing seemed to inspire me, I felt the Lord hinting to me that I really did not require any ‘special’ method or place of prayer to encounter the Spirit in a deep and profound way. It was then that I realised how I might have been trying too hard to orchestrate a dramatic Pentecost moment for myself.
I soon found myself walking towards the adoration room in one of the retreat buildings, and eventually sat in front of the Blessed Sacrament, feeling so heard and held by the Lord after expressing all that I was feeling. It actually felt good to have been able to offload all my burdens to God, which at the same time, also gave me a better understanding of what was really upsetting me, and what was not giving me life during that incident.
