It’s not always about intense longing or pleasant emotions. Sometimes it’s simply an inner restlessness, a quiet longing for God, a discomfort when too much time passes without prayer.

Prayer may feel arid, repetitive, or unconsoling. Even so, if you persevere, if you return again and again to silence and the search for God, this doesn’t originate solely from within you.

The Holy Spirit prays within us, even when we don’t know what to say.

3. Growth in genuine compassion for others

The heart begins to change: it becomes less indifferent and less self-centered. The pain of others no longer goes unnoticed. A sincere impulse to help, serve, and accompany arises.

This compassion is not sentimentality. Sometimes it involves setting boundaries, saying “no” when that is what truly helps the other person.
The Holy Spirit teaches us to love with truth: a love that seeks the real good, even when it is uncomfortable or demands sacrifice.

4. Serene acceptance of your own weaknesses

Another profound sign is learning to accept your limitations without despising yourself. This is not about resignation or complacency, but about understanding that your frailties are the place where grace can act most powerfully.
