THE BIG PROMISE.
THE GREAT Promise!
"Jesus said to his disciples:
‘If you love me you will keep my commandments.
I shall ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate to be with you for ever,
that Spirit of truth whom the world can never receive since it neither sees nor knows him;
but you know him, because he is with you, he is in you."
"I will not leave you desolate;
I will come to you.
Yet a little while, and the world will see me no more,
but you will see me; because I live, you will live also.
In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
He who has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me; and he who loves me will be loved by my Father,
and I will love him and manifest myself to him." (John 14: 15 - 21).
Sunday 10th May 2026, 6th Week in the Easter Season.
Our Savior continues to reveal to His chosen friends the dynamics of the the Kingdom of God that He is entrusting to them.
The Church is the seed of the Kingdom on earth.
The Holy Spirit, the Big Gift of the Father is the Spirit of truth.
He will lead and guide the Church to all truth and preserve the integrity of the teachings of Jesus.
The Holy Spirit will be our Advocate and constant Helper.
"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." (John 14: 26).
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 [the Church] 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.
The one condition for receiving this free Gift is:
"If you love me you will keep my commandments," says Jesus.
The Pentecost Novena 2026 begins on Friday, May 15, 2026.
It runs for nine days and ends on Saturday, May 23, 2026,

I am excited.
If you have received Him but not yet activated this awesome Person, prepare for Pentecost Sunday
through intense desire and prayer.
