Love of God

"Fear not, I am with you; I am your God." Is 41:10a
"Now, as in the first century, wherever Christ is present, he is at work, freeing, healing, setting right what has been set wrong, for Christ is God's saving love abiding in our midst." from Magnificat, p. 282

"Loving God is not just something very important for man. It is the one absolutely important thing, the one for which man was created, and so it is his fundamental task on earth and will be his sole occupation forever in heaven. It is the means whereby he attains happiness and complete fulfillment. Its absence makes man's life empty....

..God is not asking for a bit of room in our heart, in our soul or in our ind, for just a share in our love: he wants it all -- not just a little love, some part of our life, but all we have got." --taken from In Conversation With God, vol. 4, pp 431-432

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.
