“The Father will send another Advocate . . . the spirit of truth. You know him because he is with you; he is in you.” (John 14)

READINGS:
1. Acts 8:5-8, 14-17
2. 1 Peter 3:15-18
3. John 14:15-21

REFLECTION: In this Sunday’s gospel Jesus gives us a list of promises:

I will ask the Father and he will send you another
Advocate.

He will be with you forever.

I will not leave you alone.

I will come back to you.

You will see me again.

My Father will love you.

I also will love you and will show myself to you.

PRAYER: Father, you continually raised up your faithful to the glory of holiness. In your love, enkindle in us the fire of your Holy Spirit. Amen.

FAMILY DISCUSSION/ACTIVITY:

Monday:
What can you do today with your family to proclaim Jesus’ presence among us?
