Let us praise and thank the Father, who has poured out the grace of the Spirit on all peoples. Let us ask him for an ever greater share in his Spirit, saying:
Lord, pour out the grace of the Holy Spirit throughout the world.
Lord, you gave us your chosen One as the light of all peoples,
— open the eyes of the blind, and lead from captivity those who sit in darkness.
Lord, pour out the grace of the Holy Spirit throughout the world.
You anointed Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit for the ministry of salvation,
— may he once more go about the world, doing good and healing all.
Lord, pour out the grace of the Holy Spirit throughout the world.
Send your Spirit, the light of all hearts,
— to strengthen the faith of those in doubt.
Lord, pour out the grace of the Holy Spirit throughout the world.
Send your Spirit, our rest in labor,
— to support the weary and the broken-hearted.
Lord, pour out the grace of the Holy Spirit throughout the world.
Fulfill the hope of those who have died,
— so that they may rise again at the coming of Christ.
Lord, pour out the grace of the Holy Spirit throughout the world.

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.
