Prayer of the heart Pentecost Sunday. Holy Spirit You are the soul of my
soul I humbly adore you Enlighten me strengthen me, guide me, comfort me
and, as it corresponds to the eternal plan of the Father God, reveal
your desires to me. Give me, know what inner love desires of me.
Let me know what I must accomplish, Give me, know what I
must suffer, Give me, know what, with silent modesty and in prayer,
I must accept, charge and report. Yeah. Holy Spirit Give me
to know your will and the will of the Father, for all my life
I want to be nothing but a continuous and perpetual yes to the desires and
will of the Eternal Father God, Today we celebrate St Peter Celestine Vapa,
the Gospel of St John Chapter you see twenty verses nineteen to twenty- three
at night that day. On the first of the week, people were smelting
in a house with doors closed for fear of the Jews and in that came
Jesus stood in the middle and said peace to you and saying this is the
Lord' s hands and side and the disciples were filled with joy to see
Jesus. To the Lord Jesus repeated it happens to you as the Father has
sent me. So I sent you and said this, breathed upon them and
told them to receive the Holy Spirit. Those who forgive sins are forgiven.
To those who retain it, they are held back to fulfill it. On
the day of Pentecost they were all together in one place and suddenly came from
heaven, a noise like a wind that impetuously interrupted and filled the whole house
in which they were in. Then tongues like fire disappeared, and they were
divided and passed over each one of them. They were all filled with the
Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues according to the lesh spirit.
The coming of the Holy Spirit is the fulfillment of one of the promises made
by the Lord to his disciples. It is good that I go, for
if I am not the lawyer, you will not come, but if I
go, I will long in the first appearances of the risen Jesus. That
promise comes true as the father sent me so I sent you and said this,
it remained over them and told them I received the Holy Spirit and in
the right of the apostles. The gospel of the Holy Spirit is shown with
the constant activity of the third person, of the Most Holy Eternity. After
the ascension, the apostles prepared for the coming of the Holy Spirit. Everyone
persevered unanimously in prayer in the Church. We prepare this Feast of Pentecost through
that popular devotion of the stage to the Holy Spirit. Many times it has
been said that the Holy Spirit is the great stranger, so he called it.
Joseph Mary is, however, a divine person, the third person,
the Most Holy Ternity, who was sent by Jesus Christ from his church on
the day of Pentecost, ten days after the ascension from heaven. The action
of the Holy Spirit is so central to the life of the Christian that Jesus
told his apostles I will invite you to go, in case I go,
paracritus will come to you. On the other hand, yes, I'
m leaving If I don' t leave, I' m sorry, the
paracrit won' t come to you. And if I go, I'
ll suck you up. And the motive of such importance is found in the
fruit of the divine affiliation that produces its activity, because those who are guided
by the Spirit of God, those are children of God and the catechism of
the Catholic milk is explained thus. Jesus, when he announces and promises the
coming of the Holy Spirit, calls him the paraclete, literally the one who
is called next to another albocatus. Paraclete is usually translated as a comforter,
Jesus being the first comforter. The same Lord calls the holy spirit, spirit
of truth, besides his own name, which is the most employed. In
the Book of Acts and in the letters of the Apostles. In St Paul
there are the following appellations, the spirit of promise, the spirit of adoption,
the spirit of Christ, the spirit of the Lord, the spirit of
God and in is and in St Peter, the spirit of Glory. Thinking
of the holy spirit does not mean going into deep questions far from ordinary life,
but rather understanding man, understanding the aspirations of the heart, and the
strength to face the daily tasks with which we face each other. He is
the crown, the building of creation and redemption and establishes the final communication of
God to men. In the creed that is reviewed the Mass is said something
more of this in his divine person. I believe in the Holy Spirit give
lord and giver of life, who comes from the father and son, who
with the father of the son receives the same worship and glory and who spoke
by the prophets. And in the sacred scripture we see how the Holy Spirit
manifests itself on earth in various ways. In Jesus' baptism to Jordan'
s River, he took the figure of Paloma, which symbolizes purity, simplicity,
and fruitfulness. On the tabor appeared in the form of a glowing cloud,
symbol of light, clarity and joy in the Upper Room, in giving
Jesus Christ his mission and powerful apostles blew upon them and told them I received
the Holy Spirit on the day of Blessingus if it became visible by an impetuous
wind and tongues of fire. The strong wind symbolizes life. The movement and
strength that removes obstacles to Christian and holy life. The tongue of fire means
the eloquence and dutria of the lord. It communicates man to enlighten intelligences and
charity, to inflame hearts in the love of God. God the Holy Spirit
dwells in his soul. In grace. He is established from baptism, in
the soul of the righteous and there he accomplishes everything, as a father of
family, in his house, he rules it, as a teacher in his
school, teaching him as a gardener in his orchard, captive, as king
and his own kingdom. It rules as the sun in the world, illuminates
it and as the soul gives life, meaning and movement to the body.
The action of the Holy Spirit is central to the Christian' s life.
To him is attributed the work of sanctification of souls, because it is love,
the love of the father to the son and the love of the son
to the father, and sanctification is a work of love. The Holy Spirit
sanctifies through grace and gifts. These gifts are wisdom. It is a gift
that makes us taste the things of God understanding. It is a gift that
helps us to get better the truths of faith Council. It is a gift
that helps us to know what God wants from us and from others. It
is a gift that gives us strength and courage to do the things that God
wants science. It is a gift that teaches us what are the things that
help us to walk toward God’ s mercy. It is a gift with
which we look more and better to God and to neighbor fear of God.
It is a gift that helps us by offending God. When our love weakens.
In our relations with the holy spirit, we must consider him for what
he is in himself and for what he is for us. As for the
former, we cannot forget that, being God, he has a particular right
to our worship and that we must worship him, love him and have confidence
in him. As for not according to him as our sanctifier, we must
repay him first and foremost with the gratitude for the good that helps us to
do, for he is the one who moves our will to love him and
to execute him. We must be docile aspirations and not impede their action.
In us, with our loose indifference, little generosity or bad will, it
is our duty to call frequently on the divine spirit and ask him for what
we need, for without ceasing, we are in need of light and strength
in order to fulfill God' s will and to achieve our eternal end.
We have been created by loving God and that love. To God it is
the Holy Spirit who infuses our souls with love that constitutes the essence of Christian
action. The Christian tradition has summed up the attitude that we must adopt before
the Holy Spirit in a single docility concept, to be sensitive to what the
divine Spirit promotes around us and to our own, to the charisms that he
distributes to movements and institutions, which arouses to the affections and decisions that they
make in our hearts, docility to what he directs us in our personal prayer,
to the motions that he sends us at other times and also to what
he brings us through those who direct our soul, confession and advice of spiritual
direction. At the beginning of his meeting, St John Paul II invited the
Polish Bishop Monsignor to Blaishitz, to preach Lent to the griuspitols. The Bishop
accepted and said to one of the sermons the Holy Spirit teaches us that,
although it progresses over the years, we can preserve spiritual youth. Our testimony
said Christian must always be young. A true witness of Christ never ages.
Instead, Christ never ages. It is the same yesterday, today and always
in giving holy spirit that rejuvenates us spiritually and keeps the Church in a permanent
youth. It is said that Pope John for a second pardon, St John
twenty- three that at first his pontificate and especially on the eve of the
announcement of the convening of the Matrician Council II, could not cook the dream
and this reasoning was made that he himself made known. It took me a
little while to think about the dream in the first few days of being Pope,
but I soon realized that that' s silly. It leaves me in
myself, John, why don' t you sleep, you' re the
Pope. Or is it the holy spirit that moved the Church? It is
the Holy Spirit, true, then, sleeping, the third person of the
Most Holy Atrity transformed the disciples of the Lord. The evangelists did not hide
their fear, their human respects so that because they were hidden out of fear
of the Jews. But the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, on the same
Pentecostal day, kindles them up and preach before the crowds speak of Christ to
thousands of people. If we allow ourselves to be guided by this principle of
the present life of us, which is that of spirit wine, our spiritual
vitality will grow and we will abandon ourselves in the hands of our Father God,
with the same spontaneity and trust with which a child throws himself into the
arms of his father old inner path of childhood always present, which is not
blanding or lack of human season, it is supernatural maturity that makes us deepen
the wonders of divine love, recognize ourselves in smallness and fully identify our will
with that of God are the words of the latter of Saint Joseph Mary I
give you the blessing. May God, the Father, the Source of all
light, who illuminated the hearts of the disciples, pouring out fire on them,
the divine holy spirit bless you and grant you the abundance of his gifts,
the admirable fire that appeared upon the disciples and purified your hearts from all
evil and sublimate with his light the spirit that, by proclaiming the same faith,
gathered the circumcised of different tongues. Make you persevere in that same faith
and come thanks to it, to the vision that you hope for and the
blessing of God almighty father, son and holy spirit, descend upon others and
remain always amen
