Sanctify My Heart: a Scriptural Novena to the Holy Spirit

by: Christine Haapala
Illustrations by James Reid

Suffering has redemptive value when we recognize God's mighty Hand in the events and offer our day to Him. Accepting God's will in all suffering is a sacrificial prayer by sharing in the sacrifice at Calvary. Christine Haapala's tenth Scriptural prayer book encourages us to allow the Holy Spirit, the Sanctifier, to shape and mold our hearts into an imitation of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Through reflective and meditative selections from Sacred Scripture, this daily journey is a call to conversion when we encounter the Theological Virtues [Faith, Hope, Love], the Gifts of the Holy Spirit [Fear of the Lord, Knowledge, Piety, Counsel, Fortitude, Wisdom and Understanding], and the Fruit of the Holy Spirit [Charity, Joy, Peace, Patience, Faithfulness, Goodness, Generosity, Gentleness, Kindness, Modesty, Self-Control, and Chastity].
