Have You Experienced the Father’s Love? | Pentecost Novena Reflection

Join Fr. Jonathan Meyer for today’s Rise Up reflection as we draw closer to the glorious feast of Pentecost. In this video, Fr. Meyer walks us through a powerful Gospel passage and invites us to open our hearts to the perfect, Trinitarian love of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Learn why silent prayer and radical availability are essential if we truly want Christ’s love—and the Holy Spirit—to dwell within us.

🔹 Key Points in This Video
• Invoking the Holy Spirit during your Pentecost novena (“Come Holy Spirit, come Holy Spirit, come Holy Spirit”)
• Understanding John 17:26: “I will make it known that the love with which you loved me may be in them, and I in them.”
• What it means for Christ to live in us and pour the Father’s love into our hearts
• Practical tips on silent prayer: how to listen, receive, and be radically available to God’s love
• A challenge to say “I receive” whenever you pray for the Holy Spirit or the Father’s love

🕊️ Why This Matters Today:
As we prepare for Pentecost, it’s not enough to simply pray “Come Holy Spirit.” We need to clear away distractions, slow down in silence, and allow the Father’s perfect, Trinitarian love to penetrate our minds, hearts, and souls. In doing so, we become living tabernacles of divine love—able to share that same love with others.

❤️ Takeaway:
“Allow yourself today to be loved. Allow yourself to be known.” When we open our hearts fully, Christ can dwell in us—and the love He shares with the Father can become a living reality in our lives.
