Whose praise do you seek?

Theme: Personal Prayer
Grace: To seek the praise of the Father
Scripture: John 5:31-47

"Jesus says: "I am the door. No one can come to the Father but by me."...Anyone who does not accept the door cannot possibly reach the Father...As he made whole those who were physically blind, so he gave light to their minds. As he gave the lame the chance to walk, so he urges the steps of sinners in the direction of the way of penitence." -- St. Cyil of Jerusalem, quoted in Magnificat, March 2010, p. 273-4

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.
