Alleluia! Christ is risen!
Jesus the Lord sends the Holy Spirit, and Jesus and the Father are also revealed and made present to us by the Holy Spirit of love.
Before his Passover, Jesius announced the sending of "another Paraclete" (Advocate), the Holy Spirit. At work since creation, having previously "spoken through the prophets," the Spirit will now be with and in the disciples, to teach them and guide them "into all the truth." The Holy Spirit is thus revealed as another divine person with Jesus and the Father. (CCC 243)
Let's pray for each other until, together next week, we "meet Christ in the liturgy", Father Cusick
