True Bread from Heaven

Grace: To receive His life
Scripture: John 6:30-35

"We long for the spirit that makes us beg, 'Give us this bread always.'" -- from Magnificat, April 2010, p. 248

"Look upon your risen Lord, and the very thought of how he rose from the sepulcher will gladden you...He was like one emerging from a battle in which he had gained a great kingdom, all of which he desires you to have, and with it, himself." -- St Teresa of Jesus, quoted in Magnificat, p. 244.

Lord, give us the desires of our hearts.

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.
