Fasting and Feasting

Fast from judging others
and feast on Jesus in them

Fast from words that pollute
and feast on phrases that purify

Fast from anger
and feast on patience

Fast from worry and fear
and feast on God's providence

Fast from complaining
and feast on appreciation

Fast from bitterness
and feast on forgiveness

Fast from suspicion
and feast on truth

Fast from thoughts that weaken
and feast on promises that inspire

Novena to the Holy Spirit

"Wait for the promise of the Father...you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you." Acts 1:5,6

Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and enkindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit, and they shall be created, and you shall renew the face of the earth.

Let us pray.

O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
