Come Holy Spirit

 Holy Spirit.jpg (148341 bytes)

  Daily we should ask for the fire of the Holy Spirit to come and renew our hearts and renew our lives.  By this Divine power the Church is renewed and transformed.  But, it works on a one to one heart, and it becomes infectious.  By this fire of love the whole world will be renewed.

We are always being protected by the power of the Holy Spirit, "the Power of His Divine Love".  Simply by asking for the power of the Holy Spirit to come and transform our heart, mind, soul and our lives, I am convinced that the kingdom of darkness will be banished and that the Kingdom of God will reign.  Spirit of the living God, fall afresh on us with the fire of Your Healing Love.

Each one of us experiences wounds in our daily living, physical, psychological or spiritual.  Yet there is still hope because of the crucifixition of Jesus the Christ.  He sent us His Spirit to give us mouth to mouth resuscitation.  He blew His breath in us, "RUAJ", to give us new life, "His Holy Spirit".

We need to call on the Spirit of God for you to see, my Brothers and Sisters, Jesus must be alive again in our Christian homes.  Our homes must have in them the heart of Mary and the heart of Jesus at heart.  For the heart of Mary is a heart of love that overflows into the Divine Heart of Jesus.  For She is the Mother of Divine Love and She is full of Divine Light.

Many of our Chrisitian homes today do not have even one crucifix, or a picture of Jesus, or of Mother Mary.  One would not know that it is suppose to be a Christian home because there is no evidence of Christianity.  How can we
expect to be attentive to His voice when our eyes, ears and heart are only intune to the television set?  We have all kinds of time for the television but we do not take much time for God.  You know, we can love God all of our lives and never be "In Love" with God.  There are many who say, "I love God so much, I would do anything for Him."  But, if there would be Benediction (Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament) at Church, say once a week, just how many Brothers and Sisters who said that they loved God would come?  Some would say, "I cannot go, it's my bingo night."  Others would say, "It's my bridge night.  I'll go next time."  When there is a retreat at Church, how many excuses can we think up?  "This is my bowling night" is always a good one.  Another is "This is my shopping night", or "I have to do overtime at work".

The reality is that what we give our time to reveals what is truly important to us in our lives.  If the way of the world is taking too much of our time, then we will become worldly and we will be washed away into the ocean of the world.  But if we spend time with God, we will become servants of God.

To love God and to be in love with God are two very different things.  If we are in love with God it will show.  We will radiate God.  We will live for God.   We will rest in God.  We will know that we are all "Temples of Our God" and are all part of His Mystical Body.  We will see God in one another.   We will respect one another.  We will help one another in His Love.

In so far as you do this to one of the least of a Brother or Sister of Mine, you do it for Me, thus says the Lord.  (Matthew 25:40).

Come Holy Spirit and transform our hearts, our minds and our souls.  Come Holy Spirit and renew the face of the earth.

Peace Be With You

Ask For The Holy Spirit


Ask for the release of the Holy Spirit every day.  Jesus Christ made it clear when He spoke to His disciples after His resurrection that they were to receive the full promise of the Father, the full power of the Holy Spirit.  This also applies to us every bit as much as it did to the disciples.  But, we must not forget to ask the Father every day to release His Holy Spirit in us.

Jesus said to us before He left us to ascend to the Father, Behold, I am with you always, until the end of the world.  (Matthew 28:30)

How is He with us?  Through the power of the Holy Spirit.  Receive the Holy Spirit daily by asking to become on fire with the Holy Spirit in your lives.  Yes, be on fire.  Be liberated in the Lord Jesus Christ.

(Psalm 104:30)  Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful.   Enkindle in us the fire of Divine Love.  Send forth Your Spirit and we shall be recreated.

When Christians pray that prayer, we are asking for Jesus to give us the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.  We should make it a "Prayer of the Day" in our lives.   We must become on fire with the Holy Spirit, just as the Disciples were on the first Pentecost.

Wake up and meet the third person of Jesus Christ in a personal relationship in your life and be on fire with the Holy Spirit.  This is the time of times.  The time to be awake and to stand up and be counted.  Do not be ashamed of your faith for the Lord Jesus Christ.

Peace Be With You

Love Is A Mystery

Flowing Heart 2.jpg (51962 bytes)  
"To those who have much, more will be given them. To those who have little, if they do not nurture it carefully, it will be taken away from them."

I used to think, why give them more, and less to those who have little?   Finally, one day in prayer, I understood it.  As I was praying for unconditional love (I pray this prayer daily), He helped me to understand that when you come out of yourself to help others, His Love in us grows much stronger and richer.   Like spouses in Christian marriages, if you invite Jesus into your marriages, and give Him the reign in your home, that love will grow in His Love and will become Sacramental in that marriage.  Love is a mystery, to receive it, it must be given away.

We must ask the Holy Spirit to help us, that our love will continue to grow and not be stunted.

We must ask for the graces so that we do not harbor resentment, hate, pride, jealousy, or to be prone to gossiping.  Let us ask for the grace of repentance of heart, also to let go and let God. We must move out of ourselves and be compassionate.  We must be compassionate, thus The Lord said: "Be compassionate, as your Father is compassionate.  Do not judge, and you will not be judged.  Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned.  Pardon, and you will be pardoned.  Give, and it shall be given you.  Good measure pressed down, shaken together, running over, will they pour into the fold of your garment. For the measure you measure with, will be measured back to you." (Luke 6:36-38)

In our Father's House, their are many dwellings.  The human heart is the temple of our God, and our hearts have many chambers.  One has to exercise the opening of the chambers of love in our hearts.  One does not love mother and father as one loves our God. We do not love mother and father the same.  The two are both loved differently.  One does not love brothers and sisters the same.  One does not love their spouses as they do God, father, mother, or their brothers and sisters.   One does not love their children in the same way as God, father, mother, brothers, sisters or spouses.  It is the same with daughter in-laws, or son in-laws, or grandchildren.


Then comes others like Spiritual brothers and sisters, whom you love on yet another level.   Those are all different little chambers of love in our hearts.  We have to learn to open up those little chambers of love.  We are all called to become lovers, not only lovers of God, but lovers of each other. God has placed love in each of our hearts, it is called "The Gift of Love".  We must become lovers of all God's children.  There again we can make a choice, to love or not to love.

We have to pray for unconditional love. To those who have cultivated much love, more will be given to them.  To those who have cultivated little, what little they have could be taken away from them. (Matthew 25:14 - 30)

We have to exercise our free will given to us by our God, The Father.  The choice is ours, to love or not to love. If we go back to our childhood, somewhere we can remember little gestures of love that we have received. Let us relive those moments, then work on building them up in our hearts.

We can learn to love at any age, if we would only invite the Holy Spirit in our lives daily. Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful, enkindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and we shall be recreated and you will renew the face of the earth.

Yes, love is a mystery.  To receive it, you must give it away.  As we experience the gift of love, the gift of joy increases, and it multiplies a steady undercurrent of joy, recharging our spirits, lifting our hearts and we delight in living, bringing our Souls closer and closer in union with God.  Courage will increase, and trust in our God will become very real in our lives.

The gift of Wisdom will also become alive.  The wisdom of God within us will inspire our thinking.  The Holy Spirit instructs His children through His gifts.  Yes, the Holy Spirit sheds His light on our paths.  Through the gift of wisdom of God within us, we become inspired and it gives us the power of clear thinking, the ability to come to wise decisions.  We are the loving children of God.  In love, fear is conquered, doubts disappear and we find strength and the fortitude to meet every situation.  Even in persecutions, grace is given to be able to love your persecutors.

My command to you is this:  love your enemies, pray for your persecutors.   This will prove that you are sons and daughters of your Heavenly Father, for His sun rises on the bad and the good, and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust. (Matthew 5:44 - 45)

The gift of love is lovingly given from our Blessed Lord, accept it. Let it grow and give it away.

Peace Be With You
Bernadette G. Cyr, T.O.P.

 


 

Power Of The Holy Spirit


"Blessed are those who learn to suffer nwith Him so as to be glorified by Him."  My Child, consider the suffering of the present world to be nothing compared to the glory that you share with Him.  My Child, call daily on the power of the Holy Spirit to direct you, and also to console you in the sufferings of the heart.

Jesus is healing wounds of division in families.

God's power we see today is just the beginning.  There is more, there is much more.

 


 

Food For Thought


We need to allow the Holy Spirit to renew our hearts so that we any know that our job is not to straighten each toher out, but to help each other up. 

 


 

Let Us Pray For Our Priests


Sister Faustina.jpg (47621 bytes)

O my Jesus, I beg you on behalf of the whole Church; Grant it love and the light of Your Spirit, and give power to the words of priests so that hardened hearts might be brought to repentance and return to You, O Lord.   Lord, give us holy priests; You yourself maintain them in holiness.  O Divine and Great High Priest, may the power of Your mercy accompany them everywhere and protect them from the devil's traps and snares which are continually being set for the souls of priests.  May the power of Your mercy, O Lord, shatter and bring to naught all that might tarnish the sanctity of priests, for You can do all things.  Amen
