A novena is made up of nine days of prayers for a special cause. The Novena
in honor of the Holy Spirit is the most ancient of all Novenas. It was the
first one ever prayed. It recalls the period of nine days where Jesus sent
his apostles back to Jerusalem to await the coming of the Holy Spirit at
Pentecost. This wonderful Novena is addressed to the Holy Spirit and can be
a powerful way for us to prepare to receive the light, strength and courage
we need.
So, let's pray this wonderful Novena, beginning on the Friday after
Ascension Thursday, this year on the 26th of May, even when, like this year
in the United States, the celebration of Holy Thursday is transferred to the
next Sunday. Come Holy Spirit, Come!

"Now, discipline always seems painful rather than pleasant at the time, but
later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been
trained by it. Therefore lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak
knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not
be put out of joint, but rather be healed. Pursue peace with everyone, and
the holiness without which no one will see the Lord." ~Hebrews 12:11-14

Self-discipline is necessary before we can handle the power God offers us.
When we see others manifesting God's power, we provably have not seen the
discipline that went before. They made themselves ready. All our life is a
preparation for more good to be accomplished when God knows that we are
ready for it. We can keep disciplining ourselves in the spiritual life
every day. We can learn so much of the spiritual laws that our lives cannot
again be a failure. Others will see the outward manifestation of the inward
discipline in our daily living.
.=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=.
I pray that I may manifest God's power in my daily living. I pray that I
may discipline myself so as to be ready to meet every opportunity.
