Day 91. Why does the Holy Spirit give such gifts? (2026)

Today is day 91 and we are on the Third Article of the Apostles' Creed. Today we are on the thirteenth line: “I believe in the Holy Spirit”.

91. Why does the Holy Spirit give such gifts?

The Holy Spirit equips and empowers believers with gifts for service in the worship of Jesus Christ, for the building up of his Church, and for witness and mission to the world. (Exodus 31:1–11; Luke 9:1–6; 1 Corinthians 12:12–26; Ephesians 4:12–16)

We will conclude today by praying the Second Collect for Pentecost found on page 614 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
