John 14:26-27
The Advocate, the holy Spirit that the Father will send in my name--he will teach you everything and remind you of all that (I) told you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give it to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid.
The Third Person of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit, is one that I understand the least, but appreciate the most.
As Jesus said, the Father will send the Advocate to teach us everything and remind us of what He told us. What an awesome gift!
Problem is, sometimes the Holy Spirit works so subtly, so quietly, so mysteriously, that if I do not listen attentively and lovingly, with my whole heart, soul and mind, I will never hear the Spirit speak to me, and if I can’t hear the Spirit, the Spirit cannot work through me.
The Holy Spirit lights the fire for God in our hearts. Let us pray that we can be aware of the workings of the Spirit in our lives, and be thankful for this amazing gift of the loving and merciful God, who sent the Sprit to dwell in us.
Come, Holy Spirit, and fill the hearts of your faithful, and kindle in them the fire of your divine love. Send forth your spirit, and they shall be created, and you shall renew the face of the earth. O God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit instructed the hearts of the faithful, grant, that by the same Spirit we may be truly wise and ever rejoice in his consolation. We ask this through Christ our lord. Amen.
