Happy Pentecost!! Come Holy Spirit.

From In Conversation With God Volume Two: Lent and Eastertide,  by Father Francis Fernandez...

When we realize that our sanctification and the apostolic effectiveness of our lives depend upon our correspondence with the motions of the Holy Spirit, we feel the need to ask Him often to wash what is stained, water our dryness, heal our infirmity, enkindle our tepidity, and direct our straying steps, (Sequence for the Mass of Pentecost) since we know that within us there are many defects-- lukewarmness, stains, areas which do not give the fruit they should because they have dried up, elements which are diseased, as well as little deviations which must be corrected....

     If we want to have a deeper relationship with the Holy Spirit, nothing is so effective as a close friendship with Mary....
