Holiness

Grace: To thirst for God
Scriptures: Ps 42-43 and John 10:1-10

"Desire for holiness is real when we fulfill our acts of piety with refinement, not omitting them or delaying them for any reason whatever, refusing to be led by our moods and feelings, because the soul truly in love with God never fails through laziness to do all in its power to seek God's Son, the Beloved. And having done all it could it is still not satisfied as it thinks it has done nothing."
--from In Conversation With God, vol 2, p. 432 (quoting St John of the Cross)

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.
