Victory of the Cross

"As soon as Jesus expired, 'the veil of the Temple was torn in two...the earth quaked, the rocks were rent. And the graves were opened; and many bodies...arose.' so that those who were present were seized with a great fear and said 'Indeed this was the Son of God.'  Jesus willed to die in complete ignominy...but scarcely had He drawn His last breath, when His divinity revealed itself in such a powerful manner...Christ's death began to show itself for what it really was, that is, not a defeat but a victory:  the greatest victory that the world would ever witness, the victory over sin, the victory over death, which was the consequence of sin, the victory, which restored to man the life of grace."  --Divine Intimacy, p. 412

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.
