Come Holy Spirit


Come Holy Spirit
En-kindle in our hearts a desire to love you in the wholeness of the trinity. A love that continues to grow with each passing day on your earth. Enable us to know and understand that you are the primary agent of missionary work. Send down your angels to guide us and your hands to be present in our work. Send us your son’s heart, the merciful and loving heart of our Lord Jesus to be in one heartbeat with our hearts today.
These days of struggle have been trying on so many levels. However it is a small consolation that I never struggle to put one foot in front of the other. The ability to put my head down and trudge on is something that innately comes to me easily.
 However, the ability to take these sufferings and offer them in their fullness to Jesus, has not been an easy thing for me to accomplish or really even to start. Especially after the sickness was relentless in its hold on us over these last 6 weeks.
I, in my smallness of being, lack your heavenly understanding Lord.
But somewhere deep inside me I do feel that this lesson of trail and suffering in this new life, will not be wasted on me and mine today. However, that still does not make the suffering any easier. I lay it down at your feet Lord, at the foot of the Cross. I weep with your mother and my Holy Mother together in this suffering of the flesh.
Come Holy Spirit Come, you are my strength, you are my righteousness, you are my fortitude, you are my guide to hold this light of Christ alight in my heart and in my mind. And most importantly you are the source of the gift of this never ending smile on my face. Let its gratitude always point to you the one who bestowed this gift to me. Let this smile from cheek to cheek always point to You in reference of the victory you have earned for us with the precious blood of your son Jesus Christ.
Come Holy Spirit Come
Enkindle in my heart the ability to hear your words these coming days to be on my hands to do His Will and to enourage my body to put one foot in front of the other for the Greater Glory of God.
Your Loving Son-MJG
