Text for the Day -- Joel 2:28-29
----------

Then afterward

I will pour out my spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

your old men shall dream dreams,

and your young men shall see visions.
Even on the male and female slaves,

in those days, I will pour out my spirit.

Devotional
----------
The gift of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost, after the Ascension of
Jesus, was the fulfillment of an ancient prophecy to the people of
God. God's Spirit would be poured out upon all people. In Baptism, as
in the baptism of Jesus, the Holy Spirit is given. The nurturing life
of faith is built upon the foundation of the indwelling of the Holy
Spirit. It is a sign that God is with us and we will not be abandoned
or forsaken.

Prayer
---------
Come, fill my life with your love, O Holy Spirit. Amen
