Love the Lord, your God

Scripture: Mark 12: 28-34
Grace: To know the love of God

"This is the sign by which the soul can clearly see whether it loves God or not, with a pure love: if a person loves God, his heart will not be centered in on himself, it will not be concerned only with achieving its own likes and comforts. It will give itself to seeking the honor and glory of God and to pleasing Him. The more a heart keeps for itself, the less it has for God. We want to have our heart placed in God and in the people and the tasks that we do through Him and with Him." -- from In Conversation With God, vol 3, p. 502, quoting St John of the Cross.

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.
