SIXTH SUNDAY OF EASTER 21st MAY 2017

I shall ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate

to be with you for ever. (John 14:16)

The call of the Spirit is not

vague. It’s from one person to

another. When God called each

of us it was to achieve some-

thing that only we can achieve;

to do something that God had in

mind for us when we were first

created. I can go through life

unaware of what exactly God

demands of me. Or I can seek to

discover and discern what the Spirit is asking of me. In

every event the Paraclete will be there to guide and

encourage, to fire me with enthusiasm or to console.

We know him because he’s with us and in us!
