This document contains a prayer, summaries of Jesus's baptism and the meaning of baptism by water, spirit, and fire, reasons for and against baptism, and information about an upcoming seminar. The prayer asks God to remove pride and the pursuit of power from people and open their hearts in generosity and justice towards the neglected. It then provides biblical summaries of Jesus's baptism by John the Baptist and being filled with the Holy Spirit, and explains baptism by water as acknowledging sin and choosing to follow Jesus, by spirit as receiving God's empowering grace, and by fire as being purified through testing.

Gaudete et exultate ch 2 - two suble enemies of holinessMartin M Flynn
This document discusses two subtle enemies of holiness - gnosticism and pelagianism. It describes how gnosticism relies too heavily on subjective experience and knowledge over charity. Pelagianism mistakenly believes that salvation is based on human willpower rather than God's grace. The document warns that we must approach doctrine with humility and avoid becoming rigid in our thinking. We are saved by God's freely given grace, not by our own works, and we should cooperate with grace through humble acceptance of God's gifts.
This document is a summary of Pope Francis' apostolic exhortation "Gaudete et Exsultate" on the call to holiness in today's world. It contains an introduction and five chapters which call all Christians to holiness and discuss things like discernment, spiritual combat, and signs of holiness. The Pope emphasizes that holiness is not limited to a few great saints, but that God calls all people to become holy through their everyday lives and activities.

Gaudete et exultate ch 5 spiritual combat, vigilance and discernment.Martin M Flynn
This document provides an overview of Chapter Five from Pope Francis' apostolic exhortation Gaudete et Exultate on the call to holiness in today's world. It discusses spiritual combat against evil forces through prayer, discernment, and vigilance. It emphasizes that discernment is needed to distinguish God's will from temptation.

Jesus was holding seven spirits and starsGLENN PEASE
This is a study of Jesus holding seven spirits and seven stars. This is an idea revealed in more than this text and some of what is here is from other texts. The seven stars are called a mystery in Rev 1 and so there is more on these stars than the spirits.
This document discusses Marie des Vallées, a mystic who helped Father Eudes found religious congregations in the 17th century. It summarizes her life, including that she was born in 1590 in France and surrendered completely to God's will from a young age. The document also discusses what Marie learned about true devotion from Jesus, including denying oneself, living for God alone, and living a life unknown to oneself. It concludes with a prayer asking to always follow God's will.
John Piper argues that worship, not missions, is the ultimate goal of the church. Worship of God is the fuel and goal of missions work because the goal of missions is to bring all nations to take joy in God's greatness. Piper asserts that passion for God in worship must precede spreading the message of God in preaching. He emphasizes that the supremacy and greatness of God should be the central focus of the church and that a vision of God's triumphant glory has historically inspired missionaries.
To go to heaven, one needs God's grace, which is received through baptism. Grace is the supernatural life of God in the soul that allows one to live with God in heaven. The sacraments, especially the Eucharist, are efficacious signs of grace that strengthen the soul and help one to grow in holiness during their journey to heaven. Receiving the Eucharist nourishes the soul and unites one with Christ's divine life.
This document contains a sermon by Charles Spurgeon about knowing the Holy Spirit. The sermon has two main points:
1. Believers know the Holy Spirit through believing Jesus' teachings about Him, experiencing His operations like conviction of sin and spiritual quickening, and having a personal relationship with Him.
2. Believers can only truly know the Holy Spirit through the Holy Spirit Himself revealing Himself to them, as no human means are adequate to reveal God. The Spirit must come into the heart and use His own power to give understanding of Himself.
Pope Francis in the fifth year of his papacy publishes his third apostolic exhortation, titled Gaudete et Exsultate which means ‘Rejoice and be Glad’. The subject of document is “the call to holiness in today’s world.” The pontiff launches a plain, fundamental message, showing that what matters, what is the essential to Christian life is to ‘seek and find God in all things.’
This document provides commentary on Romans 12:12-21 from multiple scholars and biblical experts. It discusses three key points:
1) "Rejoicing in hope" - Christians should find joy and optimism in their hope of eternal life and glory, rather than in earthly pleasures, which allows them to endure hardship.
2) "Patient in tribulation" - Believers should meet difficulties, including persecution, with courage and fortitude, knowing Christ helps them.
3) "Continuing instant in prayer" - Persevering in prayer strengthens faith and hope, and gives strength to patiently endure trials. Prayer is essential to living the Christian life.

The New Church teaches that Jesus Christ is the one true God. It rejects the notion of three persons in the Godhead, seeing it as contradictory and beyond rational understanding. Instead, it views the Trinity as referring to God's divine attributes of Love, Wisdom, and emanating Sphere. These three constitute the fullness of the Godhead. The New Church believes that all of God's fullness was embodied in Jesus, who was and is the incarnation of Love and Wisdom. It teaches that Jesus alone is God, in whom the divine Trinity exists.

This is a collection of some of the best writings on the issue of prayer to the Holy Spirit. He is God and so it is valid to offer prayer to the third Person of the Godhead.

It encourages earnest prayer and repentance so that ministers may receive the Holy Spirit and feed the flock with spiritual food rather than theories. All are called to open their hearts fully to Christ so the church may fulfill its mission as a light to the world.
Locked doors meant to keep others out ultimately harm the church more than open doors. There is a high cost to fearing outsiders more than disappointing God. The church is called to welcome all people as Christ welcomed us.

MATATAG CURRICULUM: ASSESSING THE READINESS OF ELEM. PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS I...NelTorrente
In this research, it concludes that while the readiness of teachers in Caloocan City to implement the MATATAG Curriculum is generally positive, targeted efforts in professional development, resource distribution, support networks, and comprehensive preparation can address the existing gaps and ensure successful curriculum implementation.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
A workshop hosted by the South African Journal of Science aimed at postgraduate students and early career researchers with little or no experience in writing and publishing journal articles.
How to Build a Module in Odoo 17 Using the Scaffold MethodCeline George

of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.Amen.
Prayer to the Holy Spirit (Veni Sancte Spiritus)
Come Holy Spirit,

your holy gifts.

Give a holy death, give eternal joy.Amen.
MEDITATION
DETACHMENT FROMTHEWORLD AND FROM
WORLDLY THINGS.
It is not enough for a Christian to be free from vice and to ab-
hor every kind of sin. Beyond that, it i s necessary to work with
diligence and resolution at
the task of becoming per-
fectly detached from the
world and from the things
of the world. When I say
"the world," I mean the
corrupt and disordered life
led in the world, the dam-
nable spirit that reigns over
the world, the perverse
sentiments and inclinations
which men of the world
follow, and the pernicious
laws and maxims by which they govern their behavior. By the
things of the world I mean everything that the world so highly
values and loves and strives after, namely, the honors and prais-
es of men, vain pleasures and satisfactions, wealth and tem-
poral comforts, friendships and affections based on flesh and
blood, on self-Iove and selfish interests.
Consider the life of our Lord Jesus Christ, and you will see
that He lived on earth in most perfect detachment, stripped of
all things. Read His holy Gospel, listen to His words, and you
will learn that "everyone of you that doth not renounce all that
5. 5
he possesseth, cannot be my disciple" (Luke 14, 33). So, if you
really desire to be a Christian and a disciple of Jesus Christ,
and if you wish to continue and express i n yourself His holy
life of detachment from everything. you must strive to achieve
an absolute and universal detachment from the world and from
worldly things.
To do this, you should frequently reflect how the world always
has been and always will be opposed to Christ, whom it has
persecuted and crucified, and will persecute and crucify, even
to the end of time. Consider that the sentiments and inclina-
tions. the rules and maxims, the life and spirit of the world are
so opposed to the sentiments and inclinations, the rules and
maxims, the life and spirit of Jesus that it i s impossible for
them to subsist together. Christ's sentiments and inclinations
lead entirely to the glory of His Father and our sanctification,
while those of the world lead only to sin and perdition.
The laws and maxims of Jesus are very mild and holy and rea-
sonable. The standards of the world are laws and maxims of
hell, and are diabolical, tyrannical and finally unbearable.
The life of Jesus is a holy life made beautiful by all kinds of vir-
tues; the life of the world is a depraved life, full of disorder and
of all sorts of vice.
LET US PRAY: Spirit Divine of Jesus; I only love you.
6. 6
SECOND DAY
THE JESUS SPIRIT
Start the same as above, like the first day: In the name of the
Father…
Pray the Come Holy Spirt in the page 3rd.
MEDITATION
THE JESUS SPIRIT
The spirit of Jesus is a spirit of
light, of truth, of piety, of
love, confidence, zeal and rev-
erence for God and for all
that belongs to God; the spirit
of the world is a spirit of er-
ror, of unbelief, of darkness,
of suspicion, of dissatisfaction,
of impiety, of irreverence and
hardness of heart towards
God and all the things of God.
The spirit of Jesus is a spirit of
humility, of modesty, of self-
distrust, of mortification and abnegation, of constancy and of
firmness. But the spirit of the world is, by contrast, a spirit of
pride, presumption, disordered self-love, fickleness and incon-
stancy.
The spirit of Jesus is a spirit of mercy, charity, patience, gentle-
ness and of unity with others. But the spirit of the world is a
spirit of vengeance, envy, impatience, anger, slander and disun-
7. 7
ion.
Finally, the spirit of Jesus is the spirit of God, a holy and divine
spirit, filled with every grace, virtue, and blessing. It is a spirit
of peace and tranquility, which seeks nothing but the interests
of God and of His greater glory.
The spirit of the world, on the contrary, is the spirit of Satan,
for it necessarily follows that, since Satan is the prince of this
world, the world is animated and governed by his spirit-an
earthly, carnal and animal Spirit; If, therefore, you desire to be
a true Christian, that is, if you desire to belong perfectly to Je-
sus Christ, to live His life, to be animated by His spirit and
conduct yourself according to His maxims, it i s absolutely
necessary for you to make up your mind to renounce the
world entirely and bid it farewell forever.
I do not mean that it is necessary for you to leave the world
and shut yourself up between four walls, unless God calls you
to do so. But I do say that you must try to live in the world as
though you were not of the world, that is, you must make a
public, generous and unwavering profession of living otherwise
than as the world lives, and of rejecting its laws and maxims.
And I tell you not to be ashamed but to enjoy holy pride in be-
ing a Christian, in belonging to Jesus Christ, in preferring the
saintly maxims and truths that He left you in His holy Gospel,
to the pernicious maxims and falsehoods by which the world
deceives its disciples.
I urge you at least to have enough courage and resolution to
make a clean break with the standards, sentiments and inclina-
tions of the world, and to despise all its empty speeches and
deceptive opinions, just as the world makes a show of impious
8. 8
temerity in despising the laws and maxims of Christianity. It is
i n this alone that true courage and perfect generosity consist:
for what the world calls courage and power of character are
nothing but cowardice and pusillanimity. This, then, is what I
mean by detachment from the world: renouncing the world,
and living in the world as though not of it.
LET US PRAY: Holy Spirit, form Jesus in my.
THIRD DAY
WHAT DOWE NEED FOR THE COMING
OFTHE HOLY SPIRIT?
Start with the sign of the Cross: In the name of the Father, and
of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.Amen.
Prayer to the Holy Spirit (Veni Sancte Spiritus)
MEDITATION:
WE MUST BE DETACHED FROM
THE HOLY AND DIVINE THINGS
The perfection of Christian detachment does not consist only
in being detached from the world and from oneself. It obliges
the soul to be, in a certain sense, detached even from God. Do
you not know that when Our Lord was still on earth, He as-
sured His apostles that it was expedient for Him to depart
9. 9
from them to go to the Father and send them His Holy Spirit?
Why was this, if not because they were attached to the sensible
consolation of the visible presence of His sacred humanity?
Now this was an obstacle to the coming of the Holy Spirit.
So necessary is it to be detached from all things, no matter
how holy and divine they may be, if you would be animated by
the spirit of Jesus, which is the spirit of Christianity.
That is why I say you must be detached, in a certain sense, even
from God, that is, from the delights and consolation that ordi-
narily accompany God's grace and His love.You must be de-
tached from the pious plans you have made for God's glory,
from the desires you have for greater perfection and love for
God, and even from the desire to be delivered from the prison
of this body, to see God and to be united with Him perfectly,
and to love Him purely, without interruption.
When God allows you to feel the sweetness of His kindness in
your devotions, you must be careful not to become attached to
this consolation.You must humble yourself at once, consider-
ing yourself Most unworthy of any consolation, and ready to
be stripped of it, to assure Him that you desire to serve and
love Him, not for the consolation that He gives, either in this
world or in the next, but for love of Himself and merely to
please Him.
LET US PRAY: Divine Holy Spirit:That I love you waht you
are.
10. 10
FOURTH DAY
THE SECRET OFTHE SECRETS
Start with the sign of the Cross: In the name of the Father, and
of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.Amen.
Prayer to the Holy Spirit (Veni Sancte Spiritus)
MEDITATION
THE PRACTICE OFTHE PRACTICES
There is hardly any act or virtuous practice possible in human
and Christian daily life that does not find its counterpart
among the actions of our Lord Jesus Christ on earth. And if
you wish to sanctify your actions, you should offer them to
Him in honor of and in union with His own.
This spirit will inspire many other methods in your heart if you
make a point of giving yourself to our Blessed Lord at the be-
11. 11
ginning of everything you do.
For I beg you to note carefully that the one essential practice,
the secret of secrets, the devotion of devotions, is to be at-
tached to no one practice or exercise of devotion in particular,
but to take care, in all your exercises and activities, to surren-
der yourself to the holy spirit of Jesus, with humility, confi-
dence and detachment from all things.
When you are thus free from attachment to your own way of
looking at things, or to your own devotions and tastes, He will
have complete power and freedom to act in you according to
His holy will and to arouse in your soul whatever dispositions
and devout sentiments He desires, and to lead you by whatever
paths He may choose.
After you have given yourself to Him, you should progress and
be faithful in cultivating the good sentiments and dispositions
He will arouse in you, and in following His impulsions, inspira-
tions, and guidance.
LET US PRAY: Holy Spirit, I ask you to be my only devotion.
FIFTH DAY
THE HOLY SPIRIT MAKES US CRISTIANS
Star with the sign of the Cross, in the name of the Father, and
of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.Amen.
Prayer to the Holy Spirit (Veni Sancte Spiritus)
12. 12
MEDITATION
THE HOLY SPIRIT FORM JESUSWITH IN US
The Holy Spirit shared in making us Christians, since he
formed in Mary's womb the one who is our Redeemer, our
Ransomer and our Head. He animated Christ and guided him
in all that he thought, said, did and suffered, even to sacrificing
himself on the cross, to make us Christians: He offered himself
as a perfect sacrifice to God through the eternal Spirit (Heb 9,
14). Once Jesus had ascended into heaven, the Holy Spirit
came into the world to form and establish the Body of Christ
which is the Church, and to apply to her the fruit of Christ's
life and blood, of his passion and death.
Without that, Christ's sufferings and death would have been in
vain. Moreover, the Holy Spirit comes to us at the time of our
Baptism to form Christ in us and incorporate us to him, to give
us new birth and new life in him, to apply the effects of his
blood and his death to us, to animate, inspire, lead and guide us
in all we have to think about, say, do and suffer as true Chris-
13. 13
tians for love of God. For that very reason, no one can speak
the name of Jesus properly and no one can have a single good
thought except in the Holy Spirit (1 Cor 12, 3).
As a result, a Christian is a temple of the Holy Spirit: Don't
you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit? (1 Cor
6, 19) Because we are children of God and one with the Son of
God, as members of the body belong to its head, it follows
necessarily that we must be animated by the same spirit.That is
why St. Paul says: Because you are his children, God sent the
Spirit of his Son into your hearts (Gal 4, 6) and Unless you
possessed the Spirit of Jesus Christ, you would not belong to
Christ (Rom 8, 9).
LET US PRAY: Holy Spirit, I ask you to be my only devotion.
SIXTH DAY
THE HOLY SPIRIT ISTHE SPIRIT OF OUR SPIRIT
Start with the sign of the Cross: In the name of the Father, and
of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.Amen.
Prayer to the Holy Spirit (Veni Sancte Spiritus)
MEDITATION
THE HOLY SPIRIT IS ALWAYSWITH US
the Holy Spirit was given to us to be the mind of our mind, the
heart of our heart, the soul of our soul, and to always be with
and within us, not only as his temple, but as parts of his body,
that is to say, parts of Christ's Body which is the Spirit's and
must be animated by the Spirit, since the members and every
part of body must be animated by the same spirit that animates
14. 14
the Head.
What great and marvelous things were done by the Father, the
Son and the Holy Spirit to make Christians of us! How fitting it
is to proclaim the marvels of being Christians! Oh blessed St.
John, how right you are when, speaking for all Christians, you
say: the world does not recognize us (1 John 3, 1).What obli-
gations we have to bless and love the Father, Son and Holy
Spirit for having called us and raised us to the dignity of Chris-
tians! What kind of life must we lead? One that is all holy, di-
vine and spiritual because Our
Lord tells us that what is born of
the Spirit is spirit (John 3, 6). Oh
divine Spirit, I give myself totally to
you.
Possess and guide me in all things
and make me live as a child of God,
a member of Christ, a being born
of you and belonging to you which
must be possessed, animated and
guided by you.
This being so, who can conceive
and properly express what really is
the dignity of a Christian, who is a
child of God, a member of Christ,
animated by his Spirit? what obliga-
tions we have to God for this gift? how holy a life we must lead
and how guilty is the person who sins grievously?
Such a person chases the Holy Spirit out of his temple and
turns it over to Satan. He crucifies and destroys Jesus in him-
15. 15
self, because he stifles Christ's Spirit who kept him spiritually
alive and turns his life over to Satan, Christ's enemy.
LET US PRAY: Holy Spirt, thanks for make me living temple
of your love.
SEVENTH DAY
THE GREATEST WORK OFTHE HOLY SPIRIT
Start with the sign of the Cross: In the name of the Father, and
of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.Amen.
Prayer to the Holy Spirit (Veni Sancte Spiritus)
MEDITATION
THE FORMATION OF JESUS IN OUR HEART
The mystery of mysteries and the work of works is the for-
mation of Jesus in us. St. Paul puts it in these words: My little
children, I must go
through the pains of giv-
ing birth to you all over
again until Christ is
formed in you (Gal 4,
19). It is the greatest mys-
tery and the greatest
work ever accomplished
either in heaven or on
earth by the most excel-
lent Beings in existence, namely: the Father, the Son, the Holy
Spirit, the BlessedVirgin Mary and Holy Mother Church.
It is the greatest act performed by the eternal Father in all that
16. 16
eternity during which he is continually occupied producing his
Son within himself. And outside of himself, he accomplished
nothing more astounding than when he formed the human na-
ture of his Son in Mary's womb at the moment of his Incarna-
tion.
It surpasses all the works of the Son of God on earth, forming
himself within his holy Mother and in his Eucharist.
It is the noblest of all the works of the Holy Spirit who formed
him in Mary's virginal womb.
The Virgin Mother never did, nor will she ever do anything
more worthy than when she cooperated in that divine and
wonderful formation of Jesus in her womb.
It is the greatest and holiest of all the works of the holy
Church. She exercises no function more exalted than when she
brings him forth in a sure and wondrous way, by the lips of her
priests, in the Holy Eucharist, and forms him in the hearts of
her children.
Therefore, forming Jesus in us should be our wish, our con-
cern and our chief occupation, that is to say, causing him to live
and reign in us together with his spirit and devotion, his vir-
tues and sentiments, his inclinations and dispositions. This
should be the aim of all our acts of piety. God puts into our
hands for us to work at continually this task.
LET US PRAY: Holy Spirit spill your all gifts every day about
us.
17. 17
EIGHTH DAY
LET´S OUR ACTIONS INTHE SPIRIT OF JESUS
Start with the sing of the Cross: In the name of the Father, and
of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.Amen.
Prayer to the Holy Spirit (Veni Sancte Spiritus)
MEDITATION
WHATTHAT’S MEAN MAKETHE ACTIONS INTHE
HOLY SPIRIT OF JESUS?
The way to begin and end each day well.
Is most important for everyone to understand that not only
religious but all Christians no matter what their state in life,
are obliged, as members of Jesus Christ, to live the life of their
Head, that is, a thoroughly holy life, and to perform all their
actions, whether great or small, in a
Christian manner.
What do I mean when I say in a Chris-
tian manner? I mean in a divine and
holy manner, in the manner which
characterized Jesus Christ in every-
thing that He ,did. I mean with the
spirit of Jesus Christ, with His holy and
divine dispositions.
You are obliged by countless reasons to act in this way, But I
beg you to return often to the consideration of the fact that
Jesus Christ is our Head and all of us are His members, and
that our union with Him is much more perfect and intimate
18. 18
than that of the members of a natural body with their head,
because the principle of this union is His grace.
Hence you are obliged to do everything in Him and for Him;
for Him because the members belong to Him, because every-
thing in the members belongs to the Head; in Him, that is, in
His spirit, dispositions and intentions, because the members
must follow and imitate their Head, and must be animated only
by His spirit, with no other dispositions and intentions but His.
Now by all these little actions, if you would only set your mind
on doing them well, you might give great glory to God and
make rapid progress along the road of His love. By your ne-
glect of these little things God is deprived of the glory you owe
Him, and you lose the graces He would otherwise give you.
LET US PRAY: Holy Spirit, rid of earthly things to love
heavely things.
NINTH DAY
THE SPIRIT OF MARTYRDOM
Start with the sign of the Cross: In the name of the Father, and
of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.Amen.
Prayer to the Holy Spirit (Veni Sancte Spiritus)
MEDITATION
THE SPIRIT OF MARTYRDOM
What is the spirit of martyrdom? It is a spirit that has five ex-
cellent attributes:
It is the spirit of strength and constancy which fears only God
19. 19
and sin, and cannot be shaken or overthrown, either by prom-
ises or threats, by persuasion or violence.
It is the spirit of deepest humility, which feels only horror for
the vain glory and publicity of the world, and loves contempt
and humiliations.
It is the spirit of self-mistrust and of most firm confidence in
Jesus Christ our Lord, our
Strength, in whom all things can be done.
It is the spirit of perfect detachment from the world and every-
thing that is in the world.Those who are to sacrifice their lives
to God must also sacrifice to Him all else besides.
It is the spirit of most burning love for our Lord Jesus Christ,
who leads those animated by this spirit to do all and suffer all
for love of Him, who did and suffered all for them.
20. 20
LET US PRAY: Divine spirit of Lord, I give you all myself for
to take possession of me and in all things do live as children of
God and members of Christ as one who is born to you and you
belong in fullness.Amen.
