"When God calls you to lose your life, he calls you to give up all that you have become, all that you have made yourself, all the wisdom that you have accumulated from your experience of life apart from the knowledge of the love of God in Christ....

If, in our journey, we ever decide that we are no longer willing to die -- to our self-sufficiency and pride and control -- we lose the power of the resurrection, which is ours only as we fall before the Lord."

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.
