A fresh Outpouring

Theme: Praying for a new Outpouring of the Holy Spirit and His Gifts of Prayer
Grace: To understand satan's tactics
Readings: Luke 4:1-13

I can receive a new outpouring of the Holy Spirit as often as the Lord wills. Even if I have already received "the baptism in the Holy Spirit," I can receive a new and great outpouring of the Spirit again, or several more times in my life. Jesus received a new outpouring after His baptism.

In praying for a new outpouring of the Holy Spirit we can ask for specific gifts. One gift for which we can all ask is the gift of prayer, that is, the gift of a personal loving relationship with Jesus.

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.
