Resurrection Power

Phil 3:10 "I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection."

It's the power of His resurrection flowing through us that brings life. Resurrection power - more powerful than a tsunami or an earthquake or a bomb. His power can flow through us - to demolish the stronghold of the enemy, both within and around us. Flow through us, Lord. Bring repentance and new life to your people. Forgive us our sins and have mercy.

Feast of St. Elijah


Almighty, ever-living God, your prophet, Elijah, our Father, always lived in your presence and was zealous for the honor due your name. May we, your servants, always seek your face and bear witness to your love.
--from Carmelite Proper of the Liturgy of the Hours

Prayer for a Holy Death

“Lord, prepare me for what you are preparing for me.” 

-Elizabeth Fox (quoted at her funeral today)

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.
