Prayer: How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord of hosts! My soul longs, indeed it faints for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God. Happy are those who live in your house, ever singing your praise. (Psalm 84:1-2, 4)

Reflection: God’s kingdom lives in us through the Holy Spirit.  Jesus brought us the gift of the Holy Spirit from God through his teachings here on earth.  He gave us the Holy Spirit through his death and resurrection.
