As we prepare for Pentecost this Sunday, let us remember that the gift of the Holy Spirit from Jesus is the personal gift that empowers us as Christians and Catholics to be able bring Christ to others and offer the gift of ourselves to the Father. Remember to always welcome the Holy Spirit, call upon him and as Him to strengthen us through the day and our lives so that He may work in us.
Jesus promised us the Holy Spirit as our Paraclete - our advocate, comforter, consoled, helper and friend (John 14:16-17) who will lead us into the truth. The Holy Spirit helps us daily by inspiring us, guiding us, acting through our conscience and being the gentle voice of God in our life. By virtue of our baptism we are temples of the Holy Spirit and he dwells in us - bringing Jesus and the Father. This is known as the Divine Indwelling of the Trinity.
Many children will receive the sacrament of confirmation this weekend, but we know that unfortunately many children are poor catechised or leave the faith no long after confirmation. Let us pray for them to always be open and docile to the Holy Spirit.
Come Holy Spirit! Come by the means of the powerful intercession of the Immaculate heart of Mary, your well beloved spouse
