We are Family

May13th-24th 2020

In the name of the Father,

the Son

and the Holy Spirit

 

Come Holy Spirit

Come I want to know you

Come you are the gift of the

Father and of the Son

 

Come Holy Spirit and fill the

hearts of your faithful

 

Come Holy Spirit and

kindle in us

the fire of your love

 

Come Holy Spirit

and renew us

recreate us

Renew the face of the earth

Come Holy Spirit into my heart

for I desire to know you

And knowing you to grow

In loving you

In loving you

to serve you

 

So that I may listen

always to the

voice of the Father

And fulfill

His Holy Will

 

Come Holy Spirit

Come into my heart

and may you glow In me

 

In Jesus name

 

Amen.

Prayer of surrender to the Holy Spirit by Cardinal Mercier.

I am going to reveal to you the secret of sanctity and happiness. Every day for five minutes control your imagination and close your eyes to all the noises of the world in order to enter into yourself. Then, in the sanctuary of your baptized soul (which is the temple of the Holy Spirit) speak to that Divine Spirit, saying to Him:

 

O Holy Spirit, beloved of my soul, I adore You. Enlighten me, guide me, strengthen me, console me. Tell me what I should do; give me Your orders. I promise to submit myself to all that You desire of me and to accept all that You permit to happen to me. Let me only know Your Will.

           Amen.

If you do this, your life will flow along happily, serenely, and full of consolation, even in the midst of trials. Grace will be proportioned to the trial, giving you the strength to carry it and you will arrive at the Gate of Paradise, laden with merit. This submission to the Holy Spirit is the secret of sanctity.
