Monday in the Sixth Week of Easter

We pray through the Sixth Week of Easter and hear Didymus of Alexandria describe how the Holy Spirit renews us in baptism and restores our original beauty. We reflect on being born twice, cleansed by water and strengthened by spiritual fire, then close with devotions and a concrete invitation to keep growing in faith. • opening prayers that anchor the day in the Trinity • morning offering of prayers, works, joys, and sufferings in union with the Mass • the Holy Spirit’s divinity and shared Godhead with the Father and the Son • baptism as restoration from deformity to original beauty through grace • freedom from sin and death and adoption as children and heirs of God • being conceived twice through human birth and birth of water and the Spirit • visible signs at the font and the Spirit’s invisible work of new birth • water and fire as images of cleansing, recasting, and spiritual strength • Scripture promises of God pouring out water and the Spirit on the thirsty If you found this time of prayer and reflection fruitful and would like more opportunities to grow in your faith, consider joining the Cristeros and purchasing our publications, now available on Amazon.com.
