The Advocate

Grace: to receive the Advocate who is to come
Scripture: John 16:5-11

"No matter how powerful the rulers of this world appear to be - whether political rulers or those unruly forces that seem to control our own day-to-day behavior at times- all the ends of the earth are in the possession of the risen Christ, as the Easter story shows us. If even death could not prevail over him, how can any other opposition hope to succeed?" --from Magnificat, May 2010, p. 138.

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.
