Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ

Scripture: Luke 9: 11-17
Grace: To worthily receive Him today

"This is the Blessed Sacrament! It may be said to contain all the splendor of the creation, incarnation, and redemption, the whole life of Jesus, and to present it all to the faithful as their daily nourishment of love, prayer, and contemplation." --Blessed John XXIII, quoted in Magnificat, June 2010, p. 79

What better nourishment for the life of the Spirit within us than the food provided by the Lord Himself!

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.
