I have set you an example

Theme: Entering into Jesus' suffering and death
Grace: To humbly stand by Jesus in His trials
Scripture:Luke 22: 24-28

"Humility has to be the basis for the whole of our relationship with God and with other people. It is the foundation stone of the building under construction -- our interior life...When someone feels he has been disregarded in some insignificant matter, in what are really tiny details, he ought to realise that he is still falling short of being truly humble. It is an opportunity to accept one's own littleness and to become less proud. You are humble not when you humble yourself, but when you are humbled by others and bear it for Christ"...
"Having considered the Lord's teachings, and having contemplated the example of humility in Our Lady, we can finish with this petition: Lord, take away my pride; crush my self-love, my desire to affirm myself and impose myself on others. Make the foundation of my personality be my identification with you."(from In Conversation With God, vol 2, p. 156)

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.
