Moral Theology, a new interest

  My Prayer for the Holy Spirit: Heavenly Father, in the name of your Son Jesus, we ask you for the gift of your Holy Spirit.  Please fill our hearts with the fire, compassion, and warmth of your love, and our minds with the light, wisdom, and clarity of your truth. (Compare Jn 16:13 re the Holy Spirit leading Jesus’ disciples into the fullness of truth, Rm 5:5 re God pouring the love of God into our hearts by the Holy Spirit who has been given us, and Lk 11:13 re Jesus teaching that God our Father will give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him.) This prayer is very relevant to Christian morality since being morally good from a Christian perspective involves loving God, oneself, others, and the rest of God’s Creation well, according to the truth.
