Novena to the Holy Spirit,
Day 1
Dear Family of Mary!
Today we begin the Novena to the Holy
Spirit. It is the only novena prescribed by the Church. Our Lady loves this
novena, and has often asked us to pray to the Holy Spirit with all our hearts.
Advent 1983
"Begin by
calling on the Holy Spirit each day. The most important thing is to pray to the
Holy Spirit. When the Holy Spirit descends on earth, then everything becomes
clear and everything is transformed."
Monday, January 2,
1984
"Why have you stopped saying the prayer to the Holy Spirit. I
have asked you to pray always and at all times so that the Holy Spirit may
descend over all of you. Begin again to pray for that."
The
visionaries had stopped saying the prayer to the Holy Spirit thinking that it
was said only until Christmas
Sometime in October
1984
"I would like to guide you spiritually, but I would not know how
to help you, if you are not open... I can help you only if you are accessible to
my suggestions; I cannot help you if you are not open. The most important in
spiritual life is to ask for the gift of the Holy Spirit. When the Holy Spirit
comes, then peace will be established. When that occurs, everything changes
around you. Things will change."
Our Lady could not be more
clear, "When the Holy Spirit descends on earth, then everything becomes
clear and everything is transformed." and "The most important
in spiritual life is to ask for the gift of the Holy Spirit. When the Holy
Spirit comes, then peace will be established. When that occurs, everything
changes around you. Things will change." With the Holy Spirit
everything will change, everything will be clear, everything will be at
peace.
Today we will pray for the Gift and fruit of Charity
(love).
Novena to the Holy Spirit Day 1
Charity
Let us bow down in humility at
the power and grandeur of the Holy Spirit. Let us worship the Holy Trinity and
give glory today to the Paraclete, our Advocate.
Oh Holy Spirit, by Your power,
Christ was raised from the dead to save us all. By Your grace, miracles are
performed in Jesus' name. By Your love, we are protected from evil. And so, we
ask with humility and a beggar's heart for Your gift of Charity within us.
The great charity of all the the
host of Saints is only made possible by your power, Oh Divine Spirit. Increase
in me, the virtue of charity that I may love as God loves with the selflessness
of the Saints.
Amen.
Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts
of your faithful and kindle 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.
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.
In
Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

prayerful walk around the Church yesterday afternoon, and here are a few of the
things I saw!
