THE HOLY SPIRIT IN ORDINARY LIFE
Father, how should we deal more with the Holy Spirit in our ordinary life?
In your ordinary life, by seeking
--I am sure that you do so--
the presence of God who is within you.
You receive Him in Holy Communion. The gastric juices in the stomach function in their natural way,
the sacramental species disappear and with them the presence of Jesus Christ.
But then, the Holy Spirit remains behind and contines to act.
Together with Him, the Father and the Son also act, because there is only one God.
But, it is the Holy Spirit who acts in the souls of Christians.
And you, who are a tabernacle of God, you go into yourself
many times a day and say: “Lord, how can I do this
in such a way that it is more pleasing in your sight?;
Lord, I am feeling this temptation, and that one, these bad inclinations ...”
Don’t get frightened, ok? All of us have a beast inside of us.
Even older people.
In this regard, we are all the same, and it is one of the marvels of God’s goodness,
because if we did not know we could fall into all kinds of miseries,
we would be very proud. In this way, not being proud,
we will tend a little towards humility.
If only we could tend a lot more towards humility.
