Responsorial Psalm (PS 51:12-13, 14-15, 18-19)

A clean heart create for me, O God; and a steadfast spirit renew within me. Cast me not out from your presence, and your Holy Spirit take not from me. Give me back the joy of your salvation, and a willing spirit sustain in me. I will teach transgressors your ways, and sinners shall return to you.

For you are not pleased with sacrifices; should I offer a burnt offering, you would not accept it. My sacrifice, O God, is a contrite spirit; a heart contrite and humbled, O God, you will not spurn.

Reflection

Holy Spirit,

Envelope our heart

Anchor our faith

Renew our being

To be child-like to you

May our heart beat to the rhythm of our Lord.

In silence, we pray and allow our heart to listen to the sweet melody of the Holy Spirit.
