O Lord Jesus Christ, You were pleased to humble Yourself in Your incarnate divinity and most sacred humanity, being born in time and becoming a Little Child to lead us.

AFTER STAYING IN ANTIOCH SOME TIME, PAUL LEFT AND TRAVELED IN ORDERLY SEQUENCE THROUGH THE GALATIAN COUNTRY AND PHRYGIA, BRINGING STRENGTH TO ALL THE DISCIPLES. A JEW NAMED APOLLOS, A NATIVE OF ALEXANDRIA, AN ELOQUENT SPEAKER, ARRIVED IN EPHESUS. HE WAS AN AUTHORITY ON THE SCRIPTURES. HE HAD BEEN INSTRUCTED IN THE WAY OF THE LORD AND, WITH ARDENT SPIRIT, SPOKE AND TAUGHT ACCURATELY ABOUT JESUS, ALTHOUGH HE KNEW ONLY THE BAPTISM OF JOHN. HE BEGAN TO SPEAK BOLDLY IN THE SYNAGOGUE; BUT WHEN PRISCILLA AND AQUILA HEARD HIM, THEY TOOK HIM ASIDE AND EXPLAINED TO HIM THE WAY OF GOD MORE ACCURATELY. AND WHEN HE WANTED TO CROSS TO ACHAIA, THE BROTHERS ENCOURAGED HIM AND WROTE TO THE DISCIPLES THERE TO WELCOME HIM. AFTER HIS ARRIVAL HE GAVE GREAT ASSISTANCE TO THOSE WHO HAD COME TO BELIEVE THROUGH GRACE. HE VIGOROUSLY REFUTED THE JEWS IN PUBLIC, ESTABLISHING FROM THE SCRIPTURES THAT THE CHRIST IS JESUS. >> THE WORD OF THE LORD. >> THANKS BE TO GOD. >> GOD IS KING OF ALL THE EARTH. >> GOD IS KING OF ALL THE EARTH. >> ALL YOU PEOPLES, CLAP YOUR HANDS; SHOUT TO GOD WITH CRIES OF GLADNESS.

THE PROMISE COMING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT JESUS MADE 40 DAYS AFTER HIS RESURRECTION FROM THE DEAD. HE IS A FATHER WHO KEEPS HIS PROMISES. EVERY LAST ONE OF HIS PROMISES. THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE LIFE OF THE MYSTICAL BODY OF CHRIST, THE CHURCH. JUST AS THE SOLE IS THE ANIMATING PRINCIPLE OF THE BODY IN OUR BODIES WITHOUT OUR SOULS. WHEN WE DIE, OUR BODY GETS VERY HARD AND DOES NOT MOVE. IT IS NOT VERY FLEXIBLE. IN THE LIFE OF THE CHURCH, THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE LIFE FORCE, THE BLOOD OF THE CHURCH. AS SAPP RUNS THROUGH A TREE, THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE SAPP OF HOLY MOTHER CHURCH. EVEN THE LIFE OF GRACE IN US, LIFE IN GRACE AND LIFE IN GOD, THE SAP OF GOD LIVING AND COURSING IN OUR SOULS. IT IS ONLY IN AND THROUGH THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT WE CAN EVEN SAY THE NAME OF JESUS. THEN WE CAN CONFESS HIS NAME AS LORD AND SAVIOR, MESSIAH. AND IN THAT SAME VEIN, TO EVEN ASK THE FATHER ANYTHING IN HIS NAME, ANYTHING, THE HOLY NAME OF JESUS. THROUGH AND IN THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT THE CHURCH PRAYS IN THE NAME OF JESUS. BY THE POWER OF JESUS. AND THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE NAME OF JESUS HAS AUTHORITY IN US. WHEN WE ASK IN THE NAME OF JESUS, WE ARE ASKING TO BE COMPLETELY UNITED TO HIM IN THE WAY THAT HE CALLED UPON THE FATHER, THE WAY THAT JESUS SAYS FATHER, ABBA. THE WAY THAT WE CALL ON FATHER IS DO THE SAME VEIN THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT JESUS SAYS "OUR FATHER" BE 15. , ABBA. THE FATHER WILL HEAR US. WHEN WE SAY THE NAME OF JESUS, THAT HAS AUTHORITY, THE FATHER PROMISES THAT HE WILL HEAR US, AND THAT HE WILL GIVE US WHAT WE REALLY NEED. WHAT WE REALLY NEED. IT IS HELPFUL TO PRAY AND ASK THE HOLY SPIRIT FOR GUIDANCE ON WHAT WE REALLY NEED. ONE OF MY BASIC NEEDS. WHAT ARE THE NEEDS THAT ARE MOST IMPORTANT IN OUR LIFE? ARE THERE THINGS THAT I AM ASKING FOR THAT I DON'T REALLY NEED? MAYBE THE THINGS I AM ASKING FOR NEED TO BE PURIFIED. DO I PRAY TO BE RECEPTIVE AND OPEN TO WHAT GOD REALLY DESIRES ME TO HAVE? GOD KNOWS OUR DESIRES ALREADY EVEN BEFORE WE ASK. EVEN BEFORE A WHERE IT IS ON MY TONGUE. LORD, YOU KNOW IT THROUGH AND THROUGH. SO OUR NEEDS ARE NEEDING TO BE PURIFIED IF YOU WILL. HEART NEEDS NEED TO BE PUT THROUGH THE PURIFICATION PRO PROCESS. GOD WANTS TO KNOW OUR NEEDS. HE WANTS TO HEAR FROM US. HE WANTS US TO EVEN PRAY AND EXPRESS OUR NEEDS IN HUMAN LANGUAGE SOME BASIC ADVICE FROM MOTHER ANGELICA. I LOVE TO BRING HER INTO THE PICTURE. SHE SAYS, "TODAY, WHEN CHRISTIANS WANT SOMETHING, THEY BECOME NAME DROPPERS. GIVE ME THIS IN THE NAME OF JESUS. GRANT IT TO ME NOW IN THE NAME OF JESUS, THEY SAY. BUT IT IS NOT ABOUT THAT. WE NEED TO BE SO ATTUNED TO THE WILL OF GOD THAT WE ONLY ASK FOR THINGS THAT HE DESIRES. THEN WE WILL GET ALL WE ASK FOR." TO BE ATTUNED TO GOD, PROPERLY ATTUNED. AND IN BEING ATTUNED, TO BE ATTACHED TO GOD. ATTUNED TO THE WILL OF GOD. THERE IS NO ONE THAT IS MORE ATTUNED TO THE WILL OF THE FATHER THAN HIS BELOVED SON JESUS. HE WHO SEES ME SEES THE FATHER. JESUS SAID MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE. I KNOW THEM, AND THEY FOLLOW ME. I GIVE THEM ETERNAL LIFE, AND THEY SHALL NEVER PERISH. NO ONE CAN TAKE THEM OUT OF MY HAND. A FATHER WHO HAS GIVEN THEM TO ME IS GREATER THAN ALL. NO ONE CAN TAKE THEM OUT OF THE FATHER'S HAND. I AND THE FATHER ARE ONE. JESUS WAS COMPLETELY UNITED TO HIS FATHER. THERE IS NOBODY WHO CALLED UPON THE FATHER GREATER THAN THE SON OF GOD. THERE IS NO ATTACHMENT TO THE WILL OF GOD WITHOUT ATTUNEMENT FIRST. PROPER ATTUNEMENT. WE NEED TO LEARN THE ART OF ATTUNEMENT. WE DO THIS MOST OF ALL BY READING THE GOSPELS. READING THE GOSPEL ACCOUNTS. MATTHEW, MARK MALOOF AND JOHN. SEEING HOW JESUS WAS ATTUNED. EVEN THE MOTHER OF GOD, ST. JOSEPH, THE MOST WELL ATTUNED FAMILY THAT EVER LIVED. COMPLETELY UNITED TO THE WILL OF THE HEAVENLY FATHER. JESUS BEING COMPLETELY ATTUNED TO THE FATHER. NEXT TO THE LORD JESUS HIMSELF WHO IS GOD THE SON, THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY WAS THE MOST LIVED. LET IT BE DONE TO ME ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD. IN THE ENUNCIATION. SHE RESPONDED TO THE ARCHANGELS IMITATION THAT HE WOULD BEAR THE ETERNAL THE ETERNAL SON OF GOD IN HER WOMB. EVEN BY HER QUESTIONS TO THE ANGELS, SHE WAS ATTUNED TO THE WILL OF GOD. HOW CAN THIS BE? I KNOW NOT MAN. EVEN IN HER MANNER OF THE WAY THAT SHE DIALOGUED WITH GOD, SHE WASN'T CHALLENGING GOD. SHE WASN'T PUTTING GOD TO THE TEST. SHE WAS COMPLETELY ATTUNED TO THE WILL OF GOD. SHE RESPONDED TO THE ARCHANGELS IMITATION THAT SHE WOULD BEAR THE ETERNAL SON OF GOD IN HER WOMB. LET IT BE DONE TO ME ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD. THAT SHOULD BE OUR WAY AND OUR MESSAGE IN OUR WAY OF ATTUNEMENT TO GOD. THAT IT BE DONE TO ME ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD. "THY KINGDOM COME, THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN." WE DON'T PRAY "MY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT SHOULD BE IN HEAVEN." WE DON'T TWIST GOD'S ARM TO TRY AND CONFORM GOD'S WILL DO MY WILL. WE WANT TO CONFORM OUR WILL TO GOD'S WILL, TO BE ATTUNED TO GOD'S WILL. TO BE ATTACHED TO GOD'S WILL. ST. JOSEPH'S ATTUNEMENT TO THE WILL OF GOD AS EXTRAORDINARY AS WELL. THE WAY THE LORD SPOKE TO HIM THROUGH THE ANGEL IN A DREAM. JOSEPH SAID, I THINK THAT CHILD AND HIS MOTHER AND ESCAPE INTO EGYPT. STAY THERE. HEROD IS GOING TO SEARCH FOR THIS CHILD TO KILL HIM. JOSEPH COMPLETE ATTUNEMENT TO THE WILL OF GOD. FAMILY LIFE IS REALLY WHERE WE LEARN ATTUNEMENT. WE SEE THE EXAMPLE IN THE HOLY FAMILY. BUT IN OUR OWN FAMILIES, OUR OWN MOTHER AND FATHER, SIBLINGS. OUR OWN FAMILY LIFE IS WHERE WE NEED TO LEARN PROPER ATTUNEMENT TO GOD AND TO ONE ANOTHER AS A FAMILY. THAT DOESN'T ALWAYS HAPPEN. AND THEN, WE NEED TO LEARN THE SKILL, THE ART OF PROPER ATTUNEMENT. MAYBE EVEN LATER IN LIFE. WE NEVER LEARNED IT FROM OUR FAMILIES. GOD CAN MAKE UP FOR THIS IN MANY WAYS. THE WEDDING FEAST OF CANA, MARY SAYS, "DO WHATEVER HE TELLS YOU." COMPLETE ATTUNEMENT TO THE WILL OF GOD CAN GO ON AND ON AND ON, REALLY. EXAMPLES IN THE SCRIPTURES OF HOW THE LORD WAS COMPLETELY ATTUNED TO HIS FATHER. THINK ABOUT EVEN GOING INTO THE DESERT FOR 40 DAYS AND 40 NIGHTS AND NOT EATING OR DRINKING ANYTHING. THIS PURIFICATION IN ATTUNEMENT. THAT EVEN JESUS HIMSELF AND HIS HUMANITY WENT THROUGH. GOING THROUGH THE PUTTING OF THE BASIC NEEDS OF FOOD. PUTTING THOSE ASIDE AND ENTERING INTO A MORE INTENSE DIALOGUE WITH HIS FATHER. THE IMPORTANCE OF FASTING IN THE LIFE OF THE CHURCH. FASTING WHEN WE PRAY, WE SHOULD BE FASTING AS WELL. BECAUSE FASTING HELPS US TO ATTUNED MORE TO OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN. AND JESUS AND THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE TRINITY TO BE MORE ATTUNED TO THE WILL OF GOD, THE ACTION OF GOD. I AM GOING TO END BY TAKING THE LIBERTY TO JUST READ LAST NI NIGHT'S INVITATION FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT AND TWO DAYS. I'M SURE THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOT STARTED THE NOVENA TO THE HOLY SPIRIT. THAT IS OKAY. NO SHAME, NO PROBLEM. YOU CAN JUST PICK IT UP EVEN TODAY IN DAY THREE. PRAY THIS NOVENA. YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE A PRAYER BOOK OR A PROPER NOVENA. SIMPLY CALLING UPON THE HOLY SPIRIT DURING THESE 9 DAYS IS SUFFICIENT. ALL THROUGHOUT THE DAY,, HOLY SPIRIT, COME. THE OLDEST WAY OF PRAYING. ALL THE WAY UP UNTIL PENTECOST. THIS WAS LAST NIGHT'S MEDI MEDITATION. VERY IMPORTANT AND VERY TELLING. THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE ONLY THING THAT IS IMPORTANT, ETERNAL SALVATION. ONLY ONE THING IS TO BE FEARED, SEND. SIN IS THE RESULT OF IGNORANCE, WEAKNESS, AND INDIFFERENCE. THE HOLY GHOST IS THE SPIRIT OF LIGHT, STRENGTH, AND LOVE. WITH HIS SEVENFOLD GIFTS, HE ENLIGHTENS THE MIND AND STRENGTHENS THE WILL AND INFLAMES THE HEART WITH LOVE OF GOD. TO ENSURE OUR SALVATION, WE OUGHT TO INVOKE THE DIVINE SPIRIT DAILY. FOR THE SPIRIT HELPS OUR INFIRMITY. WE KNOW NOT WHAT WE OUGHT TO PRAY FOR AS WE OUGHT. THE SPIRIT HIMSELF AND ASKS US. TODAY, WE PRAY FOR THE GIFT OF FEAR OF THE LORD. HOLY FEAR OF THE LORD. THIS IS THE SECOND DAY. THE GIFT OF FEAR FILLS US WITH A SOVEREIGN RESPECT FOR GOD. MAKES IS DREAD NOTHING SO MUCH AS TO OFFEND HIM BY SIN. IT IS A FEAR THAT ARISES NOT FROM THE THOUGHT OF HOW, MAMA SENTIMENTS -- SUBMISSION TO OUR HEAVENLY FATHER. IT IS THE FEAR AND IS THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM. ATTACHING US FROM WORLDLY PLEASURES THAT COULD IN ANY WAY SEPARATE US FROM GOD. THAT THEY FEAR THE LORD AND PREPARE THEIR HEARTS. AND IN HIS SIGHT, THEY WILL SANCTIFY THEIR SOULS. COME, HOLY SPIRIT, COME.
