Wednesday : The Gift of Piety

 Wednesday : The Gift of Piety

Meditation:

The Gift of Piety instills in the soul a childlike love and trust for God. God is not just an all powerful being, but to the pious, God is a caring and loving Father and we are His children. The Gift of Piety gives one a complete trust and confidence in God. No one better exemplifies the Gift of Piety than St Therese of Lisieux and her Little Way of spiritual childhood, where "God reveals Himself to the childlike."Mt. 11:25

Reflection:

Do I truly see God as a loving Father?

Do I have a childlike trust in God?

How am I childlike in my relationship with God?

V. Come, O Spirit of Piety, come to live in our heart to possess and sanctify all of our affections.

Closing Prayer :

Mary, Mother of Jesus and our mother, teach me to be open and responsive to the hidden power of the Holy Spirit dwelling within me. Following your example, may I always listen to the voice of the Spirit speaking in my heart. As the Holy Spirit formed Christ in you, may He form Christ in me so that I may live by the Spirit and be led by the Spirit in all my actions.

V. Mary, Temple of God and Spouse of the Holy Spirit.

R. Pray for me.
