What are we going to do?

"After 5 weeks of a catechesis on love that is the season of Lent...we have read about or heard of the many signs Jesus performed. Now, to enter fully into Holy Week, we need to answer for ourselves the question, "What are we going to do?"

Are we going to continue praying in such a way as to open the depths of our hearts to the communion God longs to share? Are we going to continue fasting in order to drive out the demons that prevent our being fully committed to the works Jesus performs? Are we going to continue giving the alms of charity, as we have received them from the One who completely spent himself in love for us?"

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.
