This year our homilists will speak on the Fruits of the Holy Spirit and how Our Blessed Mother lived them. As the Angel Gabriel made known at the Annunciation, we know that Mary was truly “full of grace.”
We recall that the Fruits of the Holy Spirit are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfullness, gentleness and self-control. Mary is filled with love, not only for her Son, but for all of us as her children. She radiates all the fruits in their perfection to all who fly to her for refuge or seek her intercession in prayer.
During this novena let us run to Our Lady that she may teach us how to live in complete union with the Holy Spirit. May we, through her intercession, practice the Fruits of the Holy Spirit, firstly, toward ourselves and, having been healed in our interior, and secondly, spread love, joy, peace, and every virtue to the world.
