Our Advocate and our Friend is our Teacher.


The Holy Spirit will teach you everything.

"Jesus said to his disciples: “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.

"And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate to be with you always, the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot accept, because it neither sees nor knows him. 

"But you know him, because he remains with you, and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. In a ­little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me, because I live and you will live. 

"On that day you will realize that I am in my Father and you are in me and I in you. 

"Whoever has my commandments and observes them is the one who loves me. And whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and reveal myself to him." (John 14: 15 - 21).

Sunday of the 6th week of Easter.

Two weeks to Pentecost. The excitement is growing. The disciples were advised to retreat to the Upper Room and prepare for this phenomenal event.  The Holy Spirit? Why does He matter?

"The Holy Spirit, whom Christ the head pours out on his members, builds, animates, and sanctifies the Church. She is the sacrament of the Holy Trinity's communion with men." (CCC 747). 

This is He and this is what He does. He is also the Lord and Giver of life. The eternal life we start enjoying here and now when we believe in Jesus. He is also the Abundant life promised by Jesus in John 10: 10.

If you have received Him but not yet activated this awesome Person, prepare for Pentecost Sunday on May 28th through intense desire and prayer.

"If you love me, keep my commandments, says the Lord,

and I will ask the Father and he will send you another Paraclete,

to abide with you for ever." (John 14: 15 - 16).
