to this earth. He put on a human body because He loves us.<br />

promised to send them the Holy Spirit to fill their hearts with the fire <strong>of</strong><br />
God’s love.<br />
7. He no longer walks the earth, but this day He lives in this world in the<br />
Holy Eucharist <strong>and</strong> He is truly present. He lives in our hearts.<br />
8. He tells us not to fear <strong>for</strong> He is here in our every breath <strong>and</strong> our every<br />
heartbeat. He is guarding us, <strong>for</strong> He loves us so much that He gave us<br />
His life that we would share in His divine life.<br />
9. We are His apostles today. We must spread His love to this world.<br />

to give love to all.<br />

5. The more that we tell the Holy Spirit how much we love Him, the<br />
more our hearts will burn within us <strong>for</strong> love <strong>of</strong> the Son <strong>and</strong> the Father.<br />

our hearts.<br />
7. It is in the pure <strong>and</strong> tender heart <strong>of</strong> Mary that we will love Jesus ever<br />
