The Kingdom at Hand

The Christian life is first of all a personal relationship between each one of us and God. I believe...that the Christian life is essentially a friendship, a love, that each one of us has been called by his name, and that at the beginning of every conversion there is this encounter...an encounter with an adorable being, demanding, tenacious, whom nothing discourages, and to whom we prefer so many creatures whom we shortly forsake or who forsake us. But he is always there, never so close to us as when, we believe him to be absent, awaiting his hour which, in the case of many men, is unfortunately the last, when there is no longer any possibility of betrayal.

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.
