Let us try asking ourselves: am I open to the action of the Holy Spirit? Do I pray him to give me illumination, to make me more sensitive to God’s things?
This is a prayer we must pray every day:
“Holy Spirit, make my heart open to the word of God, make my heart open to goodness, make my heart open to the beauty of God every day”.
I would like to ask everyone a question: how many of you pray every day to the Holy Spirit? There will not be many but we must fulfil Jesus’ wish and pray every day to the Holy Spirit that he open our heart to Jesus.
Let us think of Mary who “kept all these things, pondering them in her heart” (Lk 2:19, 51). Acceptance of the words and truth of faith so that they may become life is brought about and increases under the action of the Holy Spirit. In this regard we must learn from Mary, we must relive her “yes”, her unreserved readiness to receive the Son of God in her life, which was transformed from that moment. Through the Holy Spirit, the Father and the Son take up their abode with us: we live in God and of God. Yet is our life truly inspired by God? How many things do I put before God?
Dear brothers and sisters, we need to let ourselves be bathed in the light of the Holy Spirit so that he may lead us into the Truth of God, who is the one Lord of our life.

“the Holy Spirit is the inexhaustible source of God’s life in us.”
“the Holy Spirit, the Gift of the Risen One who dwells in us,
purifies us, illuminates us, renews us, transforms us
because he makes us participants
in the very life of God that is Love.”
The Holy Spirit teaches us to see
with the eyes of Christ,
to live life as Christ lived,
to understand life as Christ understood it.
Let us hear the Holy Spirit,
let us listen to the Holy Spirit
and may we move forward
on this path of
love, mercy and forgiveness.
“The One whom the Father has sent into our hearts,
The Holy Spirit teaches us to see
with the eyes of Christ,
to live life as Christ lived,
to understand life as Christ understood it.
Let us hear the Holy Spirit,
let us listen to the Holy Spirit
and may we move forward
on this path of
love, mercy and forgiveness.
“The One whom the Father has sent into our hearts,
the Spirit of his Son, is truly God.
Consubstantial with the Father and the Son,
the Spirit is inseparable from them.” (CCC 689)
1 Corinthians 12:3
no one can say “Jesus is Lord”
except by the Holy Spirit.
Veni, Sancte Spiritus
Renew our relationship with the Spirit
and
increase our devotion to the Holy Spirit.
