Pentecost Novena: Finding Courage in Christ When Life Feels Overwhelming
Welcome to another Rise Up video! In this Pentecost Novena reflection, Fr. Jonathan Meyer invites you to be honest about the struggles weighing on your heart—and then to entrust them to the Holy Spirit. Drawing from John 16:33 (“In the world you will have trouble; but take courage, I have conquered the world”), Fr. Meyer reminds us that no burden is too heavy for Christ to carry. When you feel overwhelmed, write down your worries, name them before God, and pray, “Come, Holy Spirit!” for the gift of courage and fortitude.
