Day 11 – The Holy Spirit helps us to grow in the faith
Yesterday we discussed abundant life; a life in the spirit. This life calls for faithfulness to the Holy Spirit while the Holy spirit helps us to increase our faith. The power of the Holy Spirit illuminates our existence, mind, heart, and strengthens us. Veni Creator Spiritus should be our daily prayer. Brothers and sisters, the word of God is the true light and God himself is faithful in whatever he does (Ps 33:4).
Without the Holy Spirit, our life today would totally be miserable, regarding whatever we go through in our every day’s life, through social media: smartphones, tablets, computers, TV, and stereos. With the Holy Spirit, we will remain trustworthy even in the midst of the range of modern products with their various corrupt information and opinions. Faithfulness is very important in our relationships and in our times. Faithfulness is one of God’s attributes. He is “abounding in faithfulness” (Exodus 34:6). God is a covenant keeper and he can never deny (2 Timothy 2:13). Our daily lives too require total faithfulness. Our Christian life requires the Holy Spirit to fill and equip us with righteousness and virtue.
Prayer: Breathe into me, Holy Spirit, that my thoughts may all be holy. Move in me, Holy Spirit, that my work, too, may be holy. Attract my heart, Holy Spirit, that I may love only what is holy. Strengthen me, Holy Spirit that I may defend all that is holy. Protect me, Holy Spirit, that I may always be holy.
Say 7 Hail Mary.
