Our Lady of Fatima



VATICAN CITY, MAY 11, 2011 (Zenit.org).- Benedict XVI is encouraging all to "intensify" the practice of praying the rosary during May, the month the Church dedicates to the Mother of God.
At the end of today's general audience, the Pope urged the youth present "to value this traditional Marian prayer, which helps to understand better and to assimilate the central moments of the salvation realized by Christ."
To the sick, he exhorted them to "to turn with confidence to the Virgin Mary through this pious exercise, entrusting all your needs to her."
Finally, to the newlyweds, he invited them to "make the praying of the rosary in the family, a moment of spiritual growth under the gaze of the Virgin Mary."

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.
