Happy Feast of the Ugandan Martyrs! Praise God for the witness of the saints and martyrs of Uganda who are remembered today. May their love for the Lord and desire to be faithful to God's plan inspire us in our journey as disciples of Jesus Christ! Pray the Litany to the Ugandan Martyrs.
A Prayer to the Holy Spirit as we approach Pentecost: Holy Spirit, You are God. I praise you because you are holy, and I thank you for dwelling in my heart. Thank you for working in my life. You guided me into salvation, renewed my dead spirit, and you opened my eyes to the Truth. Thank you. Help me to see you more clearly – to recognize your movement in my life. Make me more sensitive to you so I can follow you more closely. Still, I know that I am selfish and rebellious. I need you to help me be obedient when I recognize your leading. I need you. I ask you for your help and comfort today. You know my pain and anxieties very well. Thank you for praying over me. Help me to rest in your comfort today. Help me to walk in you, the Spirit of God. Grow good fruit in my life. You are the one who produces these in me: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. I cannot live out these things on my own; I need you. Amen
