Words From the Spirit

~~~ Memorial of Saint Ignatius of Antioch ~~~

~~~ Bishop and Martyr ~~~

~~~ Romans 4:13, 16-18 ~~~ Psalm 105 ~~~ Luke 12:8-12 ~~~

...the Holy Spirit will teach you
 at that moment what you should say.

Keep the presence of God in your heart and soul;
the Holy Spirit will inspire your very words.
The words of peace...
...words of comfort...
...words of courage...
...words of understanding....
...words of love...
...words of forgiveness...

The Holy Spirit will teach you the words of conversion.

Do not be reluctant to profess your faith...
to proclaim your belief in Jesus Christ.

Saint Ignatius Loyola left us many words of wisdom.
Here are a few quotes from him...

Be slow to speak, and only after having first listened quietly, 
so that you may understand the meaning, leanings, 
and wishes of those who do speak. 
Thus you will better know 
when to speak and when to be silent.

Go and set the world on fire.

Find God in all things.

Saint Ignatius, pray for us.
May you learn to speak words of mercy,
peace, love, and kindness.

May your words be a Blessing to others.
~~~Peace~~~
