The Holy Spirit is my Best Friend.

Six years ago today, I was Confirmed.

And honestly?

I haven't stopped talking about it since.

I find it ironic, because June 8 is National Best Friend's Day. And the Holy Spirit, on that day, became my best friend.

The Father is, well, my Father. Jesus is my Beloved. And the Holy Spirit is my best friend.

When one is Confirmed, they are called to evangelization. I like to tell my kids on Confirmation retreats that they have been given a special mission. The Holy Spirit has a mission for each of them, and a way that they are speciically called to evangelize.

So in my case, when I was Confirmed, I didn't really know what my mission was. I loved Jesus, and I loved talking about Jesus, but I didn't know what came next.

But at the moment that my priest placed his hands on my head and said, "Recieve the Holy Spirit," I was filled with a physical warmth- like I was set on fire.

A month later I went to my first Steubenville Conference. and I experienced another outpouring of the Holy Spirit- this time through the gift of tears.

 Since then, He’s continued to move in ways I never expected: through tears, joy, healing, dreams, and moments of prayer I knew weren’t just from me.

9 months later, the pandemic began,

 and I, in my newfound free time, started a blog.

 That blog, guided by the Holy Spirit, has grown into an apologetics ministry and opportunities I only could have dreamed of.

Anything good I do today is fruit of His Spirit. 

Don’t know your mission yet? Ask the Holy Spirit.

 He wants to be your best friend.
