Do Not Let Us Die in Our Sins

God's love for us led Christ to Gethsemane and to Calvary. Sin did it, our sin and the sins of the world. Sin still does it... God is not being loved and honored as he should by the race he has elevated to the sublime dignity of adopted sons. There is a gap, and God is looking for someone to stand in the gap before him on behalf of this race and beg that he may not destroy it... He hangs before us on the cross crying out, "I thirst."....We are truly blessed in having a little share in the following of the cross." Blessed Teresa of Calcutta (from March 31 Magnificat)

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.
