Dear Family of Mary!
Day 2 of the Novena to the Holy Spirit!
"Dear children! You are not conscious of the messages which God is sending you through me. He is giving you great graces and you do not comprehend them. Pray to the Holy Spirit for enlightenment. If you only knew how great are the graces God is granting you, you would be praying without ceasing. Thank you for having responded to my call." (November 8, 1984)
We are not aware of
the graces God is pouring out upon us. We cannot perceive them. And so
we waste them. Graces can be given, but their efficacy also depends on
our receptivity, our openness to them. Just as we can go to Holy
Communion, and not perceive the presence of Jesus, and thus waste the
grace of His coming, so we can waste the actual graces that are being
poured out in our day, if we are not disposed to receive them.
And so Our Lady tells
us to pray to the Holy Spirit to show us the graces we are being given.
If we ask to understand then we will be given the gift of understanding!
And the graces will show themselves to us in astounding ways.
In order to pray to
the Holy Spirit today, let's pray the Litany to the Holy Spirit,
spending time with each title of the Third Person of the Trinity.

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
