To be led by the Holy Ghost, you must repeatedly ask for His help. Come Holy Ghost! Enlighten my mind. Strengthen my will. Inflame my heart. The Holy Ghost is opposed by a three-fold source of evil: the devil, the world and the flesh. These spiritual enemies lead men's minds into error and enslave their wills to vice. On account of our fallen nature, our wills are weak and our hearts are selfish and self-seeking. We must take this seriously! To love in a proper and self-sacrificial way, we need the light and strength that comes from God. Pray especially for piety and wisdom, as these two gifts of the Holy Ghost inflame our hearts. Wisdom is a disgust for the things of this world and a taste for the things of God. Wisdom helps us realize this earth is passing and to judge all things in terms of eternity. All the trials and sufferings of the world will pass. Yet Heaven and hell remain forever; and what will not pass away is your eternal soul.
