Forgiveness of sins

Scripture: Luke 7:36-8:3
Grace: To love much, having been forgiven much

Thoughts from today's sermon:

Faith shapes us interiorly. We are not saved by our good works, but by surrendering to Christ and the redemption He won for us.

Why do we come to Jesus? Do we come from abject and humble necessity, knowing it is the only source of grace and forgiveness? Do we acknowledge our need for grace, or are we self-sufficient (like Simon, the pharisee)?

Think about the two figures in the gospel, Simon and the woman.
Which one are you?
Which would the Lord prefer?
What are you going to do about it?

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.
