The Descent of the Holy Spirit

Have you never stood before the tabernacle and asked yourself: “Why is He silent, while the world rocks with blasphemies and lies?”  “Why is He passive while His followers are persecuted and innocent people are crushed?”

It is almost frightening to seek an answer to the question “Why does God remain in our midst silent and passive, knowing and seeing everything, but saying and doing nothing, while cruelty, injustice, ignorance, and misery go on and on and on?”

It is a frightening question until we remember what it is which alone can restore humanity to happiness; that there is only one thing that can do it, namely supernatural life, beginning secretly in each individual heart, just as Incarnate Love began secretly on earth in the heart of Mary.  There is only one thing: the birth of the infant Christ in us, Incarnate Love.

Love must begin from within.   It must be sown in the inmost darkness of the human heart, and take root and flower from the dust that man is.    This can only happen if the Holy Spirit descends from Heaven and penetrates human nature, as the rays of the sun and summer rain come down into the earth, warming and irrigating the seed that is sown there and quickening it.

Christ sowed the seed of His life in us when He sowed the world with the drops of His blood from the Cross.  Now it is Christ in the Host who draws down the Holy Spirit.  For the Holy Spirit is the eternal love between the Father and the Son, the love which cannot resist the plea of the silence, the patience, the obedience of the Sacred Host.

Come to Adoration. The Holy Spirit is eager to show you the love between the Father and the Son!
