Saturday, May 18 : Saint John-Mary Vianney

Those who are led by the Holy Spirit have the right ideas. That is why there are so many uneducated people who know more about things than the educated. When one is led by a God of power and light, one cannot go wrong. The Holy Spirit is Light and Power. It is He who enables us to distinguish the true from the false and the good from the bad. By sending us the Holy Spirit God behaves towards us like a great king who would give orders to his minister to accompany one of his subjects, saying: “You are to go everywhere with this person and bring him back to me safe and sound.” How fine it is to be accompanied by the Holy Spirit! He is a really good guide! The Holy Spirit leads us along as a mother leads her two year old child by the hand, as a sighted person leads a blind one. We should say each morning: “Oh my God, send me your Holy Spirit who will make me understand what I am and what you are (…)” A soul who possesses the Holy Spirit enjoys an exquisite taste in prayer; it never loses the holy presence of God.
