Ep. 364 - The Descent of the Holy Spirit

The Christian holiday of Pentecost is celebrated on the 50th day from Easter Sunday. It commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and other followers of Jesus Christ while they were in Jerusalem celebrating the Feast of Weeks, as described in the Acts of the Apostles.

In today's episode, Rob shares a passage with you from Divine Intimacy titled "The Descent of the Holy Spirit."  Divine Intimacy is the highest state attainable on earth. In this union of love, the soul produces acts of love which have an immense apostolic influence on a multitude of souls. This knowledge of the ways that lead to God, according to the teaching of the renowned Spanish mystics, is distilled into the pages of this book.   

Learn how a desire to get involved in his community led him back to the church, and how those church experiences opened Rob's heart once again.  He shares a brief history of his own spiritual journey throughout life, how it's changed, and where he's at today. 

Please tune in for an exciting episode unpacking spirituality with a focus on the Holy Spirit. 

Rob provides some backstory on his own spiritual journey, including how he was raised in a Roman Catholic family during childhood, his spiritual journey throughout his 20's, including psychedelics and Buddhism - only to find himself returning to the church to fill the void that he continued to feel each time he stepped away from his own spiritual journey.

Divine Intimacy - Fr. Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalen OCD
www.baroniuspress.com/book.php?wid=56&bid=48

This Book of Meditations is a classic and is seeped in Carmelite spirituality. For every day it offers two meditations, in liturgical arrangement, that enable the soul to enter the conscious presence of God and to reflect on the theme of the day. These are followed by a ‘Colloquy’ that helps the person at prayer to start a friendly conversation with God where acts of praise and love, petition and thanksgiving are made, together with good resolutions for the future. Here we are at the very heart of prayer, which is a heart-to-heart encounter in faith with the living God.
