Lent: A time for conversion

What does this mean for me today? How do I know if I am following the real Jesus or the Jesus of my imagination? Ask yourself whether there is a place in the community of the Church where you are open to correction. Is there a place, are there relationships that are difficult yet at the same time convey to you truth and real love? Are there times when you are so angry that you want to walk away but you know that walking away would be superficially attractive but radically disastrous? These are the places where Christ is making himself present in your life.

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.
