Called by the Spirit (Sr. Thea Bowman)

 
   If you believe that the Spirit that lived in Jesus, that the Spirit that lived in the disciples, that the Spirit that moved in the early church is the same Spirit you receive in your baptism and confirmation, say AMEN. 

   If you believe that you, like Jesus are called by the Spirit to share the Spirit in the world, to call forth the giftedness of God’s people, say Amen. 

   And if you believe that the Spirit of God is able to transform the water of your reality into purest wine, if you believe there is nothing God can’t do, say AMEN, AMEN, AMEN.
