They were overwhelmed with grief

Matthew 17: 22-27

"The world is in flames. The conflagration can also reach our house. But high above all flames towers the cross. They cannot consume it. It is the path from earth to heaven. It will lift one who embraces it in faith, love, and hope into the bosom of the Trinity...
The eyes of the crucified look down on you asking, probing. Will you make your covenant with the crucified anew in all seriousness? What will you answer him.? 'Lord, where shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.'" -- St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (from Magnificat, August 2010, pp.128-9)

"To God the darkest depths of the human heart are as clear as the page of a book lying open in the sunlight. He knows us thorough and through -- and loves us as deeply as he knows us! Rather than hide from him, let us put our life in the hands that fashioned us and allow him to lead us in the path of life eternal." (Magnificat, p. 122)

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.
