‘If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!’ - Luke 11:13
Receive the sacraments worthily and avoid the near and voluntary occasions of sin. Give witness to your faith, and acts of charity and prayer for others.
