Living in the Spirit: Day 4
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.

Take some time to ponder the mystery of God’s action through his Spirit in the events of your own life and ask for the light, strength, and love so sorely need in witnessing as a Christian in today’s world.

Novena Prayer (Patience)
Holy Spirit, fill our hearts with your Hope. Help us to bear with confidence the difficulties of this life, knowing that You will not allow us to be tried beyond our strength (1 Cor 10:13). Lord of Hosts and God of all strength, grant us patience in the face of evils. Teach us to unite our sufferings to those of Christ, and so transform them into graces for your Church and for souls. Identify me more and more with Christ Our Lord who chose to embrace human weakness in order to embrace fallen humanity. Finally, Holy Spirit, grant us the filial trust to pray “Abba, Father” with the same confidence with which Jesus Our Lord did so on earth (Rom 8:15).
Amen

Loved the Day 4 novena reflection by M Foley. Her example of instruction by the Holy Spirit and her response was very enlightening.
She referred us to a meditation she prepared for us called “flowing with the spirit.” Unfortunately, I was unable to locate it. Could a link be provided?
Thanks Virginia, yes Melissa mentioned that it should be up on the https://lovedalready.com/ website soon. Contact me directly at contact@rcspirituality.org and I can send it to you directly to listen to it sooner. Have a blessed preparation for Pentecost. Come Holy Spirit!
