The Spirit is always speaking to us deep in our hearts,
if only we listen.

 
St. Madeleine Sophie Barat, 19th century

Let us pray that the Holy Spirit be ever at our side
and that he never abandon us.

 
St. Basil the Great, 4th century

The Holy Spirit longs to find the gates of our heart,
so that he may enter in and dwell there,
and sanctify it.

 
St. Ephraem, 4th century

Come, Holy Spirit, bend the stubborn heart and will,
melt the frozen, warm the chill;
guide the steps that go astray.

 
Pentecost Sequence

The Holy Spirit works in us, throughout the day,
during our whole life,
as a witness who tells us who Jesus is.

 
Pope Francis

Like the sunrise that filters through the whole atmosphere,
spreading over the land and sea,
and yet is enjoyed by each, as though it were for him alone,
so the Holy Spirit pours forth his grace in full measure
sufficient for all, and present as though exclusively to everyone.

 
St. Basil the Great, 4th century

The Holy Spirit opens our heart
that we may know Jesus.

 
Pope Francis

The signs accompanying grace are much joy,
peace, love and truth.
But the signs of sin are accompanied by turmoil,
not joy and love toward God.

 
Pseudo-Marcarius, 4th Century
