Veni, Creator Spiritus! Come, Holy Spirit, Come; Come by means of the powerful intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Your well Beloved Spouse! Thank You Holy Spirit! Praise You Holy Spirit!
The Holy Spirit comes as a consuming fire. The Holy Spirit comes to consume and transform us in the fires of Divine Love. Just as the Holy Spirit came as a fire to upon the salvific self-giving sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the Cross, and just as the Holy Spirit comes as a fire upon the offering in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the Holy Spirit comes as a fire upon those who offer themselves in union with Jesus. We urge you to renew the offering of yourself to the Most Holy Trinity through Our Blessed Mother, the Spouse of the Holy Spirit. Thank You Holy Spirit! Praise You Holy Spirit!
The Holy Spirit comes to empower us to continue the Mission of Jesus to proclaim the Truth of God's Love. We recognize that before we can be sent into Mission, we need to have a living relationship with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit empowers us to proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord of lords and King of kings. It is only in the Holy Spirit that we can proclaim that Jesus Christ is Lord. It is only in the Holy Spirit that we can call God "Our Father," Abba. Thank You Holy Spirit! Praise You Holy Spirit!
Before going into Mission we need to realize that we are children of God, created in the image and likeness of God, to witness to the family life of the Most Holy Trinity. It is a metaphysical truth that we must be in order to do. We were baptized into the Trinitarian family life by water and the Holy Spirit. The same Holy Spirit that sends the Church into Mission, is the Holy One Who brought us to be children of God in our baptism. Thank You Holy Spirit! Praise You Holy Spirit!
The Holy Spirit is the Sanctifier! The Holy Spirit comes to make us holy. This means that the Holy Spirit consumes and transforms the WHOLE gift of one who offers himself or herself with the desire to be HOLY. The Holy Spirit opens the eyes to a faith vision that sees the majesty of God. The Holy Spirit opens the ears to hear the glory of the voice of God in Sacred Tradition, Sacred Scripture and the Magisterium of the Church. The Holy Spirit brings us Divine Wisdom which is Sapientia or a "Savory" science. Taste and see the Goodness of the Lord. The Holy Spirit comes with a beautiful fragrance which we enter into with prayer. The Holy Spirit prays deep within us with groanings and longings as He unites our innermost being with the deep things of God. The Holy Spirit touches us with the touch of Divine Love. The Holy Spirit is the finger of God Who touches our hearts to give us natural hearts that fulfill the commands of God. Thank You Holy Spirit! Praise You Holy Spirit!
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth that reveals the Truth, Jesus Christ, that sets us free. Jesus says: "You shall know the Truth and the Truth shall set you free." The Holy Spirit enlightens our minds to recognize Divine Revelation AND to understand Divine Revelation. Revelation literally means to remove the veil that covers our minds. Jesus is the Revelation of the Father. The Holy Spirit is this Love and Union between the Father and the Son. This Love transforms our hearts in the Goodness of the Father which we see as we behold the face of Jesus Christ with unveiled faces so that we may live from grace to grace and glory to glory. Thank You Holy Spirit! Praise You Holy Spirit!
THANK YOU HOLY SPIRIT! PRAISE YOU HOLY SPIRIT! In fact, the ability to thank God and praise God is a gift that comes to us in the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is Person-Love and Person-Gift. Start your prayer and end your prayer with praise and thanksgiving and your life will change for the better. God willing, in Eternity, we will be praising and thanking God for all Eternity. Since this is your destiny, start now. Ask for the gift of the Holy Spirit through the intercession of Our Blessed Mother and live this relationship Our Lady has with the Divine Person of the Holy Spirit. Then you will live a life of praise and thanksgiving which is a taste of heaven.
