The Queen of Peace says: Friday October 21, 1983. "Most important is to pray to the Holy Spirit Santo so that it descends on you. When one has it, it has everything. The people commit an error when invoking the saints only, when they request something". Advent 1983. "Start by invoking the Holy Spirit every day. Most important is to pray to the Holy Spirit. When the Holy Spirit descends on Earth, then everything is clarified and everything is transformed". DEVOTION to the HOLY SPIRIT The Holy Spirit, like in the days of St. Paul, is the Great stranger amongst the Christians. Many faithful resort to the saints and forget the author of Grace, the sweet Guest of souls. The Holy Spirit is the Soul of the Church. It constantly attends it in its government and in its infallible education, and the Church invokes It before undertaking its works, and invites the faithful to resort to the Holy Spirit in all activity. We are temples of the Holy Spirit, He is our sweet Guest, who Consoles and Sanctifies our souls. The Apostles upon receiving the Holy Spirit were transformed. How many eager souls of perfection are like stuck because they do not invoke the Holy Spirit! They wish to be holy without even thinking about the Sanctifier! Priests you must spread this most precious devotion throughout. That all the faithful receive this Message! They will experience a great change in their souls, will see new horizons, they will marvel themselves at their spiritual progress. Invoking the Divine Spirit, source of power, light and consolation, He will fill them with his seven gifts and will dwell in them as consolation and guide. Happy the devoted souls to the Holy Spirit! They start their heaven on Earth, deserving selected graces and receiving special strength to correspond to their divine inspirations. The Holy Spirit is the God of Love. Let us love the Love! THE 7 MOST PRECIOUS GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT ARE: THE WISDOM GIFT: it provides man a type of unnatural understanding on the things of God, allowing man to savor with indescribable delights, “the things from above, not from the Earth” (Col 3,1-2), giving a sense of eternity allowing him to see everything through the eyes of God, as if by an unnatural divine instinct. THE UNDERSTANDING GIFT: allow the faithful souls the deepest penetration in the great mysteries of faith: the Holy Trinity mystery, the redemption mystery, our incorporation to Christ, the infinite value of the mass, etc., allowing them to live them with great intensity and perfection. THE SCIENCE GIFT: it teaches to judge properly on all created things, seeing in them a track or vestige of God, that announces its indescribable beauty and kindness. With this gift, St. Francis of Assisi could see the brother wolf, sister flower, sister source. It is the "science of the saints", that will always be a madness before the incredible stupidity of the world (cf. 1 Cor 3.19). THE ADVICE GIFT: it point to the direction that we must take in each case to follow the eternal wishes of God on us. They are hunches, intuitive glances, whose certainty and timeliness will eventually lead to discover events. THE MERCY GIFT: it intends to excite in the will, by inspiration of the Holy Spirit, a filial affection towards God, considered like the most loving Father, and a feeling of universal brotherhood towards all men as brothers of ours and children of the same Father, who is in heaven. It also makes us feel a special tenderness towards the Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church and our sweetest Mother. THE STRENGTH GIFT: It shines in the forehead of martyrs and in the quiet and heroic virtues of Christian life that constitute the petty heroic acts, frequently more difficult and painful, than those of greater things. THE FEAR GIFT: It fills the soul with a reverential respect before the infinite Majesty of God, leaving it ready to die a thousand times before offending it by sin. INVOCATION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT (Taught by the Most Holy Virgin to Fr. Gobbi) Come Holy Spirit. Come through the powerful intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Most Holy Mary, your most loving Wife. PRAYER TO IMPLORE THE GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT 1, Come, oh Holy Spirit, and grant us the gift of WISDOM, that presenting to us the true happiness, separate us from the things of the world and make us yearn and love the heavenly goods.

This submission to the Holy Spirit is the secret to sanctity and the joy of life. |
