Heaven - our true home

Scripture: Mark 12: 18-27
Grace: To hope in heaven.

"We should not forget for a moment what it is we are travelling towards. We should not forget the true value of the things that cause us so much concern. Our goal is Heaven. To be with Christ, soul and body, is what God created us for. This is why here on earth Our last word? It can only be a smile... a merry song. On the other side Our Lord is waiting for us, with his hands held out in a welcoming gesture." from In Conversation With God, vol. 3, p. 495.

"Your hope must be in heaven, not on earth." Saint Augustine, quoted in Magnificat, June, 2010, p. 44.

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.
