Indeed, the Holy Spirit who educates us shuns sin and all that is harmful. Therefore, it is a question of maintaining our relationship with the Holy Spirit with the greatest respect.
These two passages sufficiently prove that the Holy Spirit is the mark of the children of God other biblical versions speak of the seal of God. and Romans 8:14 (KJV) “for all who the Spirit of God leads are sons of God. If anyone doesn’t have the Spirit of Christ, they don’t belong to Him. It is written in Romans 8:9 (KJV) “You do not live according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit if at least the Spirit of God dwells in you. The Holy Spirit marks her as children of God.
Amen.Yes, the Holy Spirit is the One who leads us according to the will of God so that we can walk in the truth and discern what pleases God and what is pleasing to Him: John 16:13 (KJV) “When the Helper will have come, the Spirit of truth, He will guide you into all truth, for He will not speak on His own, but whatever He hears He will speak, and He will tell you things to come. Let us pray, O God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant us in the same Spirit, to be truly wise and ever to rejoice in His consolation. And you shall renew the face of the earth.Send forth Your Spirit and they shall be created.1832).Ĭome, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Your faithful and kindle in them the fire of Your love. Let’s spend some time praying and reflecting on the Pentecost Day readings from the Sunday Missal and from the Bible, especially on the Gifts of the Holy Spirit (Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel, Fortitude, Knowledge, Piety and Fear of the Lord – Isaiah 11: 1-2 or CCC no.1831) and the Fruits of the Holy Spirit (Charity, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Generosity, Gentleness, Faithfulness, Modesty, Self-Control and Chastity – Galatians 5:22-23 or CCC no. We pray that the Holy Spirit empowers us for the mission that Jesus has assigned us “to be His witness … to the ends of the earth,” (Acts 1:8). The Holy Spirit empowered the Apostles to carry out the great commission, “to go out and preach to all nations, (Luke 24:46-49). Even if we experience hardship, anxiety, and fear, we need to keep our faith alive and cheerful during this new-normal of way of life. On this Pentecost Day, the Spirit of God has come to us as a life-giving breath to refresh our hearts once again to go forth proclaiming the Good News, and to carry out the mission of the Church in the world – boldly and enthusiastically.
However, once they were vaccinated, I noticed that they appeared relieved, cheerful and even gallant, as they walked away like they had been given a new lease on life as though the Spirit had come as a life-giving essence to refresh and renew their weary hearts. Recently, when I was at the Vaccination Centre, I observed that people who arrived for either their first or second vaccination doses, appeared anxious, fearful and perhaps a little apprehensive, as they entered the Centre. Although our journey from Easter Sunday to Pentecost has been somewhat dampened and saddened by the suspension of in-person Masses in our Churches, let us take courage and heart in acknowledging the promise of the Holy Spirit “and I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever.” (John 14:16) However, due to the pandemic and the MCO, we have not been able to celebrate in-person the Feast of Pentecost these past couple of years. Pentecost marks 50 days after Easter, when Christians celebrate the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the disciples. In light of this, we must all remain vigilant and responsible to fight this deadly virus. These emerging variants are more transmittable and increase the spread of this deadly virus. Everyone is worried, especially with the emergence of two new highly mutating Coronavirus strains. Within just one month, the number of Covid-19 cases in our country has multiplied rapidly, reaching all-time highs and pushing up the death toll.
