Humility

Matthew 23:1-12
The greatest among you must be your servant. Whoever exalts himself will be humbled; but whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

"In good truth, without being earnest in constant and diligent self-denial and mortification, whatever else a man may do, he will never progress...

When a man, for God's sake, fights against and mortifies the indulgence of his own senses and his own self-will, even in the least things, he does a thing more pleasing to God than if he were to recall many dead men to life." --Blosius the venerable, in Magnificat, p. 302

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.
