Fountain of All Graces

Scripture: Luke 15:3-7
Grace: To trust fully in the love of His Sacred Heart

"Even our shortcomings, our limitations, and our weaknesses must lead us back to the Heart of Jesus. His divine Heart calls to our hearts, inviting us to come out of ourselves, to abandon our human certainties to trust in him and, following his example, to make of ourselves a gift of love without reserve." (Pope Benedict XVI) quoted in Magnificat June 2010, p. 146

"Christians, Jesus gives us his Heart, and what does he ask of us in return? He asks us for ours. "My Son," he says, "give me your heart." Our heart must give itself to some object, for it cannot live without loving. On one side the world claims its affections to make of our poor heart a living hell; on the other, Jesus desires ardently to take possession of it, in order to transform it even during this life into a paradise of delights To whom then shall we give it? To you, Jesus! God of love! To you alone I give my whole heart without return, without reserve, in life and in death, in time and eternity." -- from Magnificat, June 2010 p. 152

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.
