Topic: Holy Spirit

On the night before he died for us, Jesus promised his disciples (that includes us) he would not abandon them, but that he would send the Holy Spirit to be their teacher and helper. With the Spirit as our companion, we are tasked to bring God’s compassionate, healing love to a wounded, broken world.

Pentecost isn’t the birthday of the Church, it’s the first day of school. The Holy Spirit was given to be our guide, our advocate and our teacher to learn the will of God and help us better understand the lessons taught by Jesus. Like a loving parent, our heavenly Father wants us to learn, grow and thrive in our faith, and in our love for God and one another.
