The Gregorian Chant is the work of Saint Gregory the Great. He stands out as a model for all Christians. He was from a very wealthy family, he was even at a time the Prefect of Rome, something similar to a Prime Minister or a governor but Inspite of all these, he left his father's wealth, sold all he had even his own house and turned it into a monastery.
He recognized that he needed to do this to be able to gain eternal life.
Yesterday, Saint Paul said that the Spirt of God searches and knows the heart of all people. And if we disposed ourselves to the Holy Spirit, we will become spiritual persons.
Today, however he tells us how we shall be, when we decide not to walk in the Spirit, when we don't pay attention to the promptings of the Holy Spirit. Then we will not be able to receive the solid food 🍲 of the Spirit. We will only be fed with milk which is the food of infants.
We are not supposed to be infants in the Spirit. Cos we are baptized, and many are confirmed. We need to constantly pray and create the enabling heart that will be conducive to the Spirit of God.
Jesus shows us how we are to do this in the Gospel of today. He went to a lonely place to pray in order to gain more strength 💪 from the Father and guidance of The Holy Spirit .
We should constantly pray, for it is in prayer that we realize God's plan for our lives .
May Pope Saint Gregory the Great continue to intercede for us .
