“The Holy Spirit is the most perfect gift of the Father to men, and yet He is the one gift which the Father gives most easily.” (Thomas Merton) Jesus told us in Luke's Gospel that the Father will give the Holy Spirit to anyone who asks. He wants us to receive the anointed gifts of the Holy Spirit, to witness in the power of the Holy Spirit, to be filled with the Holy Spirit, to be consciously aware of  the in dwelling presence of the Holy Spirit,  to follow the lead of the Holy Spirit, to be attentive to the inspirations of the Holy Spirit, to grow in the life of the Spirit. The Holy Spirit is not an option for us but is essential to the full plan of God for our sanctification and salvation. Come, Holy Spirit, come!
