Merry Christmas

Father said at Mass that the grace that rests on this feast is the grace for deeper conversion. It is in times of darkness that it is hardest to have hope, yet it precisely there that God is at work. Read the story of how Henry Wadsworth Longfellow came to write the poem that became the lyrics for I Heard the Bells, then listen to the song. Ask the Lord for the grace to believe -- even in the darkness.

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.
