Life of Prayer

"A life of prayer is necessary too, because the self-surrender, obedience and meekness of the Christian are born of love and lead to love.  And love leads to genuine concern for others and to mutual dealings, to meaningful conversation and to friendship.  The Christian life requires a constant dialogue with God, One and Three, and it is to this intimacy that the Holy Spirit leads us.

Union with the Cross there must be also...

We tell Our Lord that we do not want to rest content with the standard we have achieved in prayer...that with his grace and the protection of Our Lady we will not rest until we reach the goal which gives meaning to our life -- complete identification with Jesus Christ."  -- In Conversation With Christ, vol 3, pp. 594-5

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.
