What will we ask the Spirit to give us today? If I may suggest an answer, we have today an urgent need for three gifts. The first is to see God. The world today lives in alienation from seeing God. God is here. “Sir, we wish to see …”. The second gift is to know God. I am not saying that we (only) get to know things about him, but that the Spirit purifies us from all the sloth that has pervaded us especially in these last days, and accepts us again in the communion of life with Him. There remains the third gift. Check out our times! Today, the world also lives in alienation from itself, from its great calling. In many places, there are people, individuals as well as communities, who only care about themselves! What remains for us from the gifts of the Spirit? What remains is for our arrogance and our love for ourselves more than our love “to be one” be broken. Let us tell God with persistence today: give us, O God, what will help us to glorify You now and always.
