Day Two - Novena to the Holy Spirit
Dear Family of Mary!
This
is Day Two of our Novena to the Holy Spirit. Today Our Lady prays that
the action of the Holy Spirit in our hearts, strengthening us, healing
us, and making us children and apostles of Jesus. St. Paul tells us that
"you have received the spirit of sonship." (Rom. 8:14) May we receive
the Holy Spirit as children of God, and be made strong in love.
Our Lady speaks:
"Dear
children, I love you all. All of you, all of my children, all of you
are in my heart. All of you have my motherly love, and I desire to lead
all of you to come to know God's joy. This is why I am calling you. I
need humble apostles who, with an open heart, will accept the Word of
God and help others to comprehend the meaning of their life alongside
God's word. To be able to do this my children, through prayer and
fasting, you must learn to listen with the heart and to learn to keep
submitting yourselves. You must learn to keep rejecting everything that
distances you from God's word and to yearn only for that which draws you
closer to it. Do not be afraid. I am here. You are not alone.
I am imploring the Holy Spirit to renew and strengthen you. I am
imploring the Holy Spirit that, as you help others, you too may be
healed. I am imploring Him that, through Him, you may be God's children
and my apostles." (September 2, 2013)
St. Paul tells us about sonship:
For
all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not
receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have
received the spirit of sonship. When we cry, "Abba! Father!" it is the
Spirit himself bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of
God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and fellow heirs with
Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be
glorified with him. (Rom 8: 14-17)
Prayer to Live as a Child of God
Father in Heaven, when the Spirit came down upon Jesus at His Baptism
in the Jordan, You revealed Him as Your own Beloved Son. Keep me,
Your child, born of water and the Spirit, faithful to my calling. May
I, who share in Your Life as Your child through Baptism, follow in Christ's path of service to people. Let me become one in His Sacrifice and hear His Word with faith. May I live as Your child, following the example of Jesus.
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
