Obedience

Scripture: Mark 12: 13-17
Grace: To be silent before Him

"the life of a priest leads the way for the Christian flock, but leads by obedience. For the quieting of the will to make one's opinions known is like a sweet curfew, a shutting of doors, a surrender to what is good and loving. How many of us cannot hear, because we will not cease talking! And what good does all our talking do, by comparison with an hour of listening, or a single act of love undertaken in silence? Surrender to the Lord, and our very silence will speak." Anthony Esolen, in Magnificat, June 2010, p. 6

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.
