Five Minutes with the Holy Spirit
November 15
Pope John XXIII began a wonderful renewal in the Church. Although he was elected at an advanced age, through him the Church entered a new era of transformation.
But he insisted that the true author of this work was the Holy Spirit, who wanted to renew His Church. During the first nights after his election, he could not sleep because of the weight of his responsibility. Then he asked himself: “Who guides the Church, me or the Holy Spirit?” And he answered: “The Holy Spirit, of course.” From that moment, he was able to rest peacefully.
Let us take his words to invoke the Holy Spirit with the same trust he had:
“Holy Spirit, come to perfect
the work that Jesus began in me.
May the time of a life
filled with Your Spirit come soon.
Defeat every natural presumption
You find in me.
I want to be simple, full of the love of God,
and constantly generous.
May no human force
keep me from honoring
my Christian vocation.
May no interest, through my neglect,
go against justice.
May no selfishness reduce in me
the infinite spaces of Your love.
May everything be great in me,
including the love of truth
and readiness in my duty until death.
May the outpouring of the Spirit of love
come upon me, upon the Church,
and upon the whole world.
Amen.”

Prayer inspired by the reflection from Five Minutes with the Holy Spirit on November 15
“Holy Spirit, loving guide, today I want to rest in You just as Saint John XXIII did. You who lead the Church, lead also my life, my decisions, and my every step.
Teach me to trust fully in Your presence, to let go of anxiety, perfectionism, and the need for control. Help me remember that I am not alone, for You sustain, inspire, and transform everything within me.
Perfect the work that Jesus began in my heart. Break down my pride, my hardness, and my resistance. Make me simple, generous, a lover of truth, and ready to serve without letting selfishness limit Your action.
Pour out Your Spirit of love upon me, upon my family, and upon the whole Church. Renew the entire world with Your peace and Your light. Holy Spirit, I rest in You.
Amen.”
