The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,

REFLECTION…

.

When you allow the Holy Spirit to dwell in your heart,

you will begin to experience a new kind of life.

You will know God in a new way.

That new life will grow in you as you become a changed person.

. .

When you welcome the Holy Spirit and ask Him to take over,

you will be entering into a new kind of life

lived in a fuller power of God.

St. Paul describes the result saying:

The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,

goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.

.

We will need perseverance to lead this new life,

since going on will not be automatic,

but it can and will happen…if we want it to.
