My Lord and my God

Scripture: Psalm 31
Grace: To believe

"Jesus said to Thomas, 'Put your finger here and see my hand, and bring your hand and put it into my side, and do not be unbelieving, but believe.' (John 20:27) Saint Thomas' experience gives meaning to the medieval mystics' reflections on Christ;s glorified wounds as a refuge in which one is safe from the snares of sin and death. The psalm invites us to entrust ourselves in faith to the protective care of the Savior's all=powerful but wounded hands." -- from Magnificat, July 2010, p. 53

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.
