“Come, Holy Spirit. Spirit of truth, you are the reward of the saints, the comforter of souls, light in the darkness, riches to the poor, treasure to lovers, food for the hungry, comfort to those who are wandering; to sum up, you are the one in whom all treasures are contained. Come! As you descended upon Mary that the Word might become flesh, work in us through grace as you worked in her through nature and grace. Come! Food of every chaste thought, fountain of all mercy, sum of all purity. Come! Consume in us whatever prevents us from being consumed in you.”
-St. Mary Magdalene de Pazzi
Today’s Reflection:
The Holy Spirit is every good thing our souls long for: light in darkness, comfort in sorrow, mercy in weakness, and love that transforms us from within.
As Pentecost draws near, invite the Holy Spirit to fill every corner of your heart and to remove whatever keeps you from belonging completely to God.
