Death where is your sting

Theme: Entering into Jesus' suffering and death
Grace: To die with Him so as to live with Him
Reading: Luke 23:39-49

True love receives all things that come from the Beloved-prosperity, adversity, even chastisement-with the same evenness of soul, since they are His Will...Death cannot be bitter to the soul that loves, for in it she finds all the sweetness and delight of love...She thinks of death as her friend and bridegroom, at the thought of it she rejoices as she would over the thought of her betrothal and marriage, and she longs for that day and that hour of her death.

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.
