Holy Spirit Mondays: Return Within

A short reflection to help you deepen your relationship with the Holy Spirit.

Read:

"Do not go outside, return within yourself; in the inner man dwells truth," (Bl. Augustine, On True Religion).

Ponder:

Augustine's call to turn inward reminds us that the Holy Spirit is the indwelling presence of God. In other words, the third person of the Most Holy Trinity does not remain aloof and closed up in the heavenly kingdom. He also lives within us and permeates our body, mind, and soul. Thus, to retreat from noise and seek interior truth is to encounter the Divine Counselor already residing there.

Pray:

"Most Holy Spirit, save me from myself and sanctify me."
