Knowing His voice

Grace: To hear His voice and follow
Scripture: John 10: 27-30

The Lord knows His sheep. They hear His voice and follow Him. It does not say that they understand what He says, only that He speaks, and they follow. Knowing His voice must be at a deeper level than the conscious mind - perhaps in the heart where St. Ignatius instructs us to be attentive to the stirrings in order to discern.

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.
