In Touch with the Holy Ghost

The Holy Ghost

is called by fasting,
is stirred up by prayer,

is invited by vigils,

is moved by silence,

is retained by almsgiving;

contemplation or meditation bring Him,

repentance introduces Him,

continence receives Him,

charity ministers to Him,

peace sweetens His gifts.

~ Petrus Cellensis, Bishop of Chartres (12th c.)
