Determine to Struggle - Never Give Up

Grace for week 2: Pray for the grace to make straight his paths.
Reading for Friday: Rev 3:14-22

"But if the Christian allows his love to grow cold, if he allows self-satisfied mediocrity to creep into his soul, then he will develop that serious spiritual illness...tepidity...which drains all love and meaning from his life.His mind and heart become, as it were, blind and deaf."

"God always forgives; but we must get up, repent, and go to confession whenever it is necessary. A deep, incomparable joy will come from beginning again and again."

-- In Conversation with God", Vol 1, p 98 and 102

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.
