Can someone tell me more about the fruits of the Holy Spirit and does anyone have a novena to the Holy Spirit?
So that’s your secret springbreeze! Your posts are always so delightful and peaceful.I am going to reveal to you the secret of sanctity and happiness. Every day for five minutes control your imagination and close your eyes to the things of sense and your ears to the noises of the world, in order to enter into yourself. Then, in the sanctity of your baptised soul (which is the temple of the Holy Spirit) speak to that Divine Spirit saying to Him:
’O, Holy Spirit, beloved of my soul- I adore You. Enlighten me, guide me, strengthen me, console me. Tell me what I should do…give me Your orders, I promise to submit myself to all that You desire of me and to accept all that you permit to happen to me. Let me only know Your Will…'
If you do this, your life will flow along happily, serenely and full of consolation, even in the midst of trials. Grace will be proportioned to the trial, giving you the strength to carry it and you will arrive at the gate of Paradise, laden with merit. This submission to the Holy Spirit is the secret of sanctity.
I speak with the Holy Spirit constantly and often say ‘Holy Spirit Creator come and renew the face of the earth’ I have many phrases I speak with Him and many kindnesses He speaks and gives to me in my heart with such flame and love. He is my closest friend and I love Him deeply.
The Holy Spirit is the secret to happiness in all events and to holiness.
Dear Gardenswith kidsSo that’s your secret springbreeze! Your posts are always so delightful and peaceful.
I have a question about the fruits of the Holy Spirit as well:
**Is obtaining the fruits an “all or nothing” deal? **
I believe the Holy Spirit developed some of those in my soul, but some seem more difficult for me to retain. I love the word “mildness”, but I’m opinionated and sometimes plain obnoxious. (I try not to be.) Patience with my children also seems to be something that eludes me. I’d love to have these fruits, but they seem to escape me.
I heard it said they are given at Confirmation and we just need to draw on them. Maybe I should just pray Springbreeze’s prayer as a regular habit.
