Where is your God?

"Deep calls to deep in the roar of your torrents. All your waves and breakers sweep over me. At dawn may the Lord bestow faithful love that I may sing praise through the night, praise to the God of my life."
--Psalm 42: 8-9

The answer to those who reproach the psalmist with "Where is your God?" -- He is busy, in the depths of my soul. He is about a work in me that my intellect would only hinder, so he goes deep where the mind cannot follow, and there He restores my soul. Like Job, I can know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end He will reign upon the earth. Herein lies my hope and therefor I will praise Him.

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.
