\"pentecostin.JPG\"<\/a>For Pentecost I translated this passage from the Spiritual Journal<\/span> of Concepci\u00f3n (Conchita) Cabrera de Armida. In it Our Lord speaks to Conchita concerning his plan for the sanctification of priests by the Holy Spirit through Mary.<\/em><\/p>\n

“To obtain that which I ask, all priests must make a general consecration and a particular consecration to the Holy Spirit, not only of the diocese and of the nations, but also each one, personally, of their priestly souls, asking Him through the intercession of Mary, that He would descend upon them as in a new Pentecost, and that he would purify them, enamour then, possess them, unify them, sanctify them and transform them in Me.<\/p>\n

The Holy Spirit is the great motor of the Church, her soul, her life, the One to whom belong the heartbeats of those who give themselves to Him. Let my priests do this and they will render glory to the Trinity, attaining the end which I pursue, that is, to console my Heart: for their own good and for the salvation of the world.<\/p>\n

All depends on their response to that which I ask: be it their faithfulness and their love for Me; be it this transformation, this Union, this making of their will one single will with mine. Mary had an active role by which she caused that these graces should be poured out upon my priests and upon my Church. Let them be grateful sons, let them honour and love her always more, because they are the sons whom she loves more intimately, because, like the Saviour of the world, they have, in a certain sense, life from her life, from her immaculate being, from the maternal warmth of her Heart. I promise that this radical change will come to pass; I will reign above all in my priests, for I am the Universal King of my Church and of hearts.”<\/p>\n

Here is the Act of Consecration to the Holy Spirit that the Venerable Servant of God, Concepc\u00edon Cabrera de Armida was accustomed to renew:<\/em><\/p>\n

Consecration to the Holy Spirit<\/strong><\/p>\n

O Holy Spirit,
\nreceive the perfect and total consecration
\nof all my being.
\nDeign to be from this moment hence
\nin every instant of my life
\nand in my every action:
\nmy Director, my Light, my Guide, my Strength
\nand all the Love of my heart.
\nI abandon myself without reserve to all Thy divine actions
\nand I want always to be docile to Thy inspirations.
\nHoly Spirit, transform me with Mary and in Mary
\ninto Christ Jesus
\nfor the glory of the Father and the salvation of the world.
\nAmen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
