'As soon as this holy season of Easter is over, and we no longer have the celebration of its mysteries to enlighten and cheer us, we shall bind ourselves at the old work of battling with the three enemies: the devil, who angered by the graces we have received; the world, to which we must unfortunately return; and our passions, which, after this calm, will again awaken, and molest us. If we be “endued with the power from on high”, we shall having nothing to fear. Let us, therefore, ardently desire to receive Him; let us prepare Him a worthy reception; let us use every endeavor to make Him abide with us; and we shall gain the victory, as did the apostles.'
Come Holy Ghost!
