My Lord and my God

Grace: A deeper share in the mystery of Christ
Scripture: John 20: 19-31

On the eighth day, St Thomas encountered God's mercy. The Lord wants us to believe in Him - and He will do whatever it takes for our conversion.

“I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon those souls who trust in My mercy”, Jesus said to St. Faustina

"Our Lord is asking for a Feast of His mercy to bring attention to the outpouring of the ocean of graces, and to His promise of the complete forgiveness of sins and punishment, to the souls that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion.
Those who have been celebrating the octave of Easter in this way, as the Feast of Mercy, have experienced the desired effect of the Second Vatican Council for the liturgical year renewal - a deeper share in the mystery of Christ." -- Robert R. Allard, Director, Apostles of Divine Mercy (from www.divinemercysunday.com)

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.
