Last weekend I failed to mention not only the 70th anniversary of the D-Day Landings, but also the great Feast of Pentecost.
Too late for D-Day, but today is the Feast of St Ephraem the Syrian (c. 303-373), who writes of the enigmatic Third Person of the Trinity most beautifully:
“The Holy Spirit longs to find the gates to our heart,
so that He may enter in and dwell there,
and sanctify it; and He goes round about to all the gates
to see where He may enter.”

St E could have written that yesterday.
