Fasting

Theme for the week: Entering into the love of the Lord
Grace for today: To know his love for me and respond to his love in my prayertime
Scripture reading: John 17:20-26
"When it is accompanied by prayer it can be used to manifest humility before God. The man who fasts turns towards God in an attitude of total dependence and abandonment." --taken from In Conversation with God, Vol 2, p.13

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.
