He will do the rest

Grace: To do what I can
Reading: John 6:1-15

"But the Apostles do what they can: they find five loaves and two fish. They have no other means, and there were five thousand men - too many for what was available... Our Lord wants us to avoid thinking that the solution lies in human effort alone; and He also wants us to avoid passivity, which under the pretext of total abandonment in the hands of God, converts hope into a disguised spiritual laziness." -- from In Conversation With God, vol 2, p. 368.

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.
