How much more love can God show us than for Him to send the Holy Spirit after His only begotten Son, suffered, died, rose from the dead and ascended into heaven to prepare room for us?
The Counsellor sent to guide us into a life of holiness, Who comes bearing gifts so that we can use them to lead one another into the light and to love one another the way our heavenly Father loves us.
Do we grieve Him by our unbelief our indifference, our stubbornness?
Holy Spirit open our hearts and minds to the Will of our Father in heaven always. Amen
First reading
Galatians 3:1-5
Gospel
Luke 11:5-13
Jesus said to his disciples, ‘Suppose one of you has a friend and goes to him in the middle of the night to say, “My friend, lend me three loaves, because a friend of mine on his travels has just arrived at my house and I have nothing to offer him”; and the man answers from inside the house, “Do not bother me. The door is bolted now, and my children and I are in bed; I cannot get up to give it you.” I tell you, if the man does not get up and give it him for friendship’s sake, persistence will be enough to make him get up and give his friend all he wants.
‘So I say to you: Ask, and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. For the one who asks always receives; the one who searches always finds; the one who knocks will always have the door opened to him. What father among you would hand his son a stone when he asked for bread? Or hand him a snake instead of a fish? Or hand him a scorpion if he asked for an egg? If you then, who are evil, know how to give your children what is good, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!’
