Perfection

We must keep our eyes fixed on God in everything we say, do, or undertake. We must make a firm resolution to overcome, with God's grace, all the difficulties inherent in the spiritual life. God wants to humble by means of a multitude of internal and external troubles and trials.
A soul depends on grace in proportion to its desire for greater perfection.
Brother Lawrence of the Resurrection (1691)

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.
