Renew Your Strength

Grace for week 2: Pray for the grace to make straight his paths.
Reading for Tuesday: Is 40:25-31

"The greatest tragedy in any man's life is sin, because the result of sin is a far-reaching disorder which starts in the very center of his being and spreads outward to affect all those around him. In the Sacrament of Penance Our Lord sorts out all those misplaced elements; in addition to pardoning the sins he restores to the soul its lost order and harmony...

A well-made confession brings much good to all those who live and work with us...Not only that, but when a Christian goes to Confession, the whole Church receives an incalculable benefit."

--(from In Conversation With God, vol 1, page 77)

Penance services are coming. Take the opportunity to prepare your hearts for a good confession this Advent--and make all of heaven rejoice.

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.
