Come Holy Spirit! It’s time to ask the Lord to renew the gift of the Holy Spirit within you. We want you to build a more active relationship with the Holy Spirit, trusting in the Lord’s promise to give you His Spirit and make you a witness and a saint. So visit a church or an adoration chapel and ask the Lord in your own words to pour out upon you anew the gift of His Holy Spirit. Don’t only ask Him for an increase of the Spirit, but tell him why you want an increase. Your prayer might be long or short, but let it be from your heart. Include that same request in your daily prayers for the next eight days, and wait for an answer to your prayer.
What is the Lord saying? Do you notice anything different about your spiritual life? A renewed conviction of the Lordship of Jesus? Or a deeper understanding of the Father’s love? A greater humility or courage in you? A new experience in reading the Sacred Scriptures? A greater heart for the salvation of others? A new inspiration or insight? A new awareness of your sinfulness and need for repentance? Or something else?
Recalling what you’ve learned from this lesson, act upon a good inspiration that you may have received from the Holy Spirit, or put into practice something else that you’ve learned from this lesson.
