The Sixth Day of our Novena to the Holy Spirit

-from Sister Miriam of the Holy Spirit,
Lo Spirito Santo
So beauty’s bird,
wind-wisdom seeking,
and sorrow’s flood,
and love’s flame stirred,
are one voice speaking a word called God.

–from the Gospel of John

On the day before he was to suffer, on the night of the Last Supper, Jesus prayed to His Father, “Consecrate them in the truth. Your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, so I sent them into the world. And I consecrate myself for them, so they also may be consecrated to truth.”

Help us to always seek knowledge so that our path forward in your presence may always be grounded in what is real, beautiful, good, and true. In the Holy Spirit’s Power, Amen.
