Thy Will Be Done

Luke 15:1-10

"Unite yourself to the agonizing Jesus: lean upon Him, and in Him you will find the necessary strength to accept and to resist. Keeping your eyes fixed upon Jesus Crucified, who has reconciled and united the human race to His divine Father by His passion and death, you will understand ever more perfectly that union with God 'consists not in refreshment and in consolations and spiritual feelings, but in a living death of the Cross, both as to sense and as to spirit ; that is, both inwardly and outwardly' (John of the Cross, Ascent II, 7,11)"
--from Divine Intimacy #354, p. 1071

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.
