There are moments when you can feel the Holy Spirit. In my experience they don’t happen often, but regularly enough.
This month I have had the blessing of feeling that sacred zephyr twice. Once in a toney Westlake Episcopal church and again in a simply beautiful school chapel in Honduras.
Josh Kulak and Lizzie Robbins made vows to serve God and the Church as priests. We sang “Veni Creator Spiritus” (come Holy Spirit), and the bishops and priests laid hands upon them while the congregation held a blanket of prayer over them. They were holy moments.
Although such occasions may be rare when we KNOW the Spirit is present, they are not once in a lifetime. The Holy tingle can be decerned if we are sensitive and attuned. We can feel it.
