Peter said: God chose me from among you as the one through whom the nations would hear the Good News and come to believe. God, who knows the heart, showed that he accepted them by giving them the Holy Spirit.
Praise be to you, Holy Spirit. Come down on us like the spring rains to give growth to what you have already planted in our hearts. And then it will be our joy to let ourselves be guided by you. Shape us day by day into the image of Jesus, the Son of the God of Life.
