Follow Me

Grace: To feed His sheep
Scripture: John 21:1-19

"In the face of Peter's triple denial of him, the risen Jesus three times asks Peter 'Do you love me?' No degree of personal evil or sin can eradicate from Peter's heart the awareness of this ineradicable fact: Peter does love Jesus. Peter was made for this love which no measure of wickedness or infidelity can abate. When Peter tells the Sanhedrin, 'We must obey God rather than men,' he means that he must obey this infallible truth that rules and directs his heart. The 'honor and glory and blessing' that the slain Lamb is worthy to receive is this confidence in his love when all we see in ourselves is misery and betrayal." --from Magnificat, April 2010, p. 225

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.
