The Great Combat

"O Jesus, I withdraw in spirit with You into the desert; teach me how to fight the triple concupiscence of the flesh, pride, and avarice." Divine Intimacy, pg. 288 God had given us the means to overcome all temptations; nobody sins necesarily. Let us consider, in depth, during this lent what that means. As well as this, in order to free us from the devil's influence, God has given us an angel to help and protect us. "If you call upon your Guardian Angel at the moment of trial, He will protect you from the devil and will bring you holy inspirations." In Conversation with God, p 32.

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.
