Scripture Reading
John 14:16-17
And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.
Reflection
On the eve of Pentecost, we sit with Jesus' promise: the Helper is coming. The Spirit of truth will not just be with us but in us — an interior presence, not merely an external assistance. The world does not recognize the Spirit, but those who belong to Christ know him because they have experienced him. On this final day of the Easter season, prepare your heart for the coming of the Spirit. Open every room of your interior life and say: Come.
Prayer for Today
Gracious Heavenly Father, your word says that you will always guide me. You do not leave me wandering through life, but you are with me during every moment of every day. You will satisfy my needs when I feel frustrated and you will strengthen me when
life makes me weary. Help me to follow your ways as you lead me into a life of fruitfulness and joy. May I be like the well-watered garden which thrives because the roots are firmly planted in your love. Through Jesus Christ,
our Lord, Amen.
