21 Jun Filled with the Spirit (Jn 15:26-27) by Amy Kosta
Jesus said to his disciples: ‘When the Advocate comes whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, he will testify to me. And you also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.’ ~ Jn 15:26-27
.
Reflection: Jesus tells His disciples that the Advocate will testify to Him, and He encourages His disciples to do the same. Christ sent the Holy Spirit to bring wisdom and courage to His apostles so they could proclaim His words without fear. We, too, are called to testify to Jesus; He who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Jesus wants His Pro-Life disciples in the current culture of death to stand strong to advocate for the most helpless of all human life. We are reminded by the Lord’s words today that we have the Holy Spirit within each of us to keep us strong in our fight for Life. Let us go forth with our heads held high as we stand, walk, run and testify for all human Life.
