Let us give thanks to Christ, who filled the apostles and the whole Church with the consolation of the Holy Spirit. In union with all the faithful, let us cry out:
Lord, send your consoling Spirit into your Church.
Lord Jesus, mediator between God and men, you chose priests to share your work,
— through them may all rise with you to the Father.
Lord, send your consoling Spirit into your Church.
Grant that rich and poor may meet in friendship, for you are the God of both,
— do not let the rich make riches their god.
Lord, send your consoling Spirit into your Church.
Make your Gospel known to all peoples,
— that all may come to obey you in faith.
Lord, send your consoling Spirit into your Church.
Send forth your Spirit, gentlest of consolers,
— to wipe away the tears of all who mourn.
Lord, send your consoling Spirit into your Church.
Purify the souls of the departed,
— and receive them into the company of your saints and chosen ones in heaven.
Lord, send your consoling Spirit into your Church.

The Resurrection of the Body
Saint Paul the Apostle said, “If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain.” The Resurrection of Our Lord from the dead is the ultimate foundation of the Catholic Faith, “the resurrection of the body,” and “life everlasting” as in our Credo. But what will happen to the bodies of the living and the dead after the Second Coming of Christ? Read this Post to find out what it means to have “glorified bodies” in Heaven.
If you are unable to physically receive Holy Communion, especially if you are under lockdown or in isolation in the midst of this pandemic, make a solemn recitation of this Prayer for Spiritual Communion by Saint Alphonsus Maria de Liguori.
