Come Holy Spirit

Tomorrow is the beautiful Feast of Pentecost.  In a special way we are praying for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit on all the members of the Children's Rosary.  The Catechism of the Catholic Church speaks so beautifully of how important are the graces and gifts of the Holy Spirit:

"The moral life of Christians is sustained by the gifts of the Holy Spirit. these are permanent dispositions which make man docile in following the promptings of the Holy Spirit." (1830 Catechism of the Catholic Church)

"The seven gifts of the Holy Spirit are wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety and fear of the Lord. They belong in their fullness to Christ, Son of David. They complete and perfect the virtues of those who receive them. They make the faithful docile in readily obeying divine inspirations." (1831 Catechism of the Catholic Church)

Indeed to be docile to the inspirations of the Holy Spirit is to be the fertile soil Our Lord speaks of when seeds are sown along the road (Matthew 13:8, Mark 4:20) .  Children in a beautiful way are open, trusting, pure.  As children pray they too can hear the divine inspirations which as parents we hope will help to guide them in a path of holiness throughout their life.

One of the members of the Children's Rosary Brigid age 10 drew the picture above.  It is so beautiful to see children contemplating the mysteries of our faith and praying that they too may take part in them.

During this week we have many children coming together in Children's Rosary Prayer groups around the world.  Please consider joining them in prayer. The children always pray for those unifying prayers with them.
