On the Holy Spirit by St. John Vianney

Without the Holy Spirit all is cold; therefore, when we feel we are losing our fervour, we must instantly make a novena to the Holy Spirit to ask for faith and love – St. John Vianney

A soul that possesses the Holy Spirit tastes such sweetness in prayer, that it finds the time always too short; it never loses the holy presence of God. – St. John Vianney

A soul in which the Holy Spirit dwells is never weary in the presence of God; his heart gives forth a breath of love. – St. John Vianney

The Holy Spirit forms thoughts and suggests words in the hearts of the just. – St. John Vianney

Man by himself is nothing, but with the Holy Spirit he is very great. – St. John Vianney

Those who are led by the Holy Spirit have true ideas; that is the reason why so many ignorant people are wiser than the learned. – St. John Vianney

When we are led by a God of strength and light, we cannot go astray. – St. John Vianney

Prayer: Come Holy Spirit, I need you. Fill me, use me and strengthen me and guide me and direct me according to Your Holy will. Help me to never grow cold. Holy Spirit help me to enjoy sweetness in prayer and experience the holy presence of God. Breathe over me the breath of love and direct my thoughts and my words. May all my ideas be directed by You. Without you O Holy Spirit, I am nothing. Guide me by your strength & light. Help me never to go astray. Bring me back in Your great love, mercy and grace if I go astray. Amen!

John 20:22 He breathed on them and said to them,“Receive the Holy Spirit"
