Thursday in the Seventh Week of Easter

We pray through the seventh week of Easter, offering our day to Jesus through Mary and asking God to help us grow in holiness. We read St Cyril of Alexandria on why Christ’s Ascension makes room for the Holy Spirit to dwell in our hearts, transform our lives, and strengthen us against fear and temptation.  • opening invocation and doxology  • Morning Offering uniting joys and sufferings to the Mass  • St Cyril on sharing in the divine nature through the Holy Spirit  • why Christ’s departure makes the Advocate’s coming possible  • Scripture images of transformation in Saul and in St Paul’s teaching  • the disciples’ courage as evidence of the Spirit’s power  • prayer for spiritual gifts and a will conformed to God  • closing devotions to the Sacred Heart and Our Lady of Guadalupe  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.  The Cristeros app is available on the Apple app and Google Play Store.  More information on the Cristeros can be found at theCristeros.org.Send us Fan Mail
