I do not condemn you.

Theme: I will forgive their evildoing and remember their sin no more. (Jer 31:34)
Grace: To receive.
Scripture: Is 43:16-21 or John 8:1-11

"Christ looks at us as he looked at the woman caught in adultery. Her sin, our sin is patent and undeniable. The question is: How do we look back at Christ? With self-righteous yet guilty eyes of the scribes and pharisees who dropped their stones but not their murderous intentions (which they now transfer to Jesus)? Or like the adulteress who remains alone before Jesus and who accepts with humble confidence, the sentence of Christ: 'I do not condemn you'?"
--from Magnificat, March 2010 p. 304-5

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.
