Prayer

"O Lord, I come to ask of You the true spirit of prayer."

"Prayer is essentially an intimate conversation with God in which the soul seeks His presence, so that it may speak with Him in a friendly and affectionate way. ..From its very nature, then, prayer is something intimate and interior...

"Whatever form it takes, true prayer is not complicated or constrained; it is the breath of the soul that loves its God, the habitual attitude of the heart which tends toward God...Prayer understood in this way is always possible, in all kinds of circumstances and in the midst of varying occupations;  furthermore, for a soul who really loves God, it would be as impossible for it to interrupt prayer as it would be for it to stop breathing."  --Divine Intimacy #146.


Divine Mercy Novena Day #9:  Today bring to Me souls who have become lukewarm, and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy.

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.
