Holy Spirit App

One of my students in school suggested I download a list maker app so that I could carry the list of names of my students since I sometimes have trouble remembering them. The student told me it helped his grandmother out a lot! Now I like to think am not old but I use a lot of apps on my phone to keep me on time, current, and in the loop. I have the GPS app so I don't get lost, a weight watchers app so I know when to stop eating, even a confession app so I can get ready to go to confession.( if someday I can do confession on the Internet I'll probably have that one too!)
  So when I read the gospel and Jesus said that the Holy Spirit will remind us of all He taught I thought, hey, maybe there is a Holy Spirit app.  So I checked it out.
   Now there a re some apps like WWJD and the Path to Jesus that are designed for guidance, but all these apps do is quote bible verses on various days or for various needs. I was really looking for an app that would tell me the right from wrong decision immediately.

  Well, my friends, we do have that app. But it is not on the any phone or tablet. In fact, the app has been around for thousands of years if we just avail ourselves of it. It is called prayer. In this busy would, how many take the time to pray in silence and open their hearts and minds to the entry of the Spirit? There are just so many distractions. Work. Family. Society. They pull us every way and leave little time for ourselves and when we do find that time, prayer just doesn't seem to be high on most people's list. It if we take the time. Ten minutes. A half hour. Just to sit in silence and focus on opening ourselves to God, we can feel the swell of the Spirit within. We can feel a sense of calmness and peace. And in that moment of clarity, the Spirit reveals to us the answers we need at that particular fork in the road.
   So over these next few days, as the weather gets nicer and the temperature gets warmer, take ten minutes. Sit outside. Feel the warmth of the sun God created on your skin. Listen to the rustle of the trees in the gentle spring breezes. And on those breezes, hear the voice of God and the swell of the peacefulness of the Spirit within you. And use the prayer app to get the answer you are looking for.
