Cardinal Mercier exhorted devotion to the Holy Spirit.

Enlighten me, guide me, fortify me, console me, tell me what I need to do, give me your orders. I promise to submit in everything to your desire and accept how much you want to send me! Just teach me your will.” If you do this, I repeat, your life will flow away happy, serene and consoled, albeit in tribulations, because grace will be proportionate to the test and will give you the strength to bear it and you will reach heaven full of merits.
