Follow Me

Theme for the week: Repentance and accepting the Lord's forgiveness
Grace for today: To know Jesus better as calling you to Himself
Scripture reading: Matthew 9:9-13

"Today we can ask ourselves as we talk to Our Lord in our prayer whether we often thank him for calling us to follow him more closely; we can ask whether we are corresponding to the graces we have received by struggling to acquire all the virtues in a straightforward but rigorous way; whether we are on our guard against all comfort seeking; which kills off any desire for sanctity and leaves the soul submerged in spiritual mediocrity, and in a state of lukewarmness. It is not enough to want to be merely good; we have to make a determined effort to be saints."
-- from In Conversation With God, Vol. 2, p 62-63

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.
