I also love you

Grace: To remain in Him
Scripture: John 15:9-11

"Jesus reveals an awesome reality: he loves us the very way that the Father loves him. What "God first concerned himself with" remains his main desire: 'acquiring a people for his name.' Thus, Christ begs: 'Remain in my love.' We do so by keeping his commandments, for they save us 'from the destructive force of egoism and falsehood. To keep the Commandments is to be faithful to our deepest aspirations.'" (Pope John Paul II, quoted in Magnificat, May 2010, p. 80)

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.
