Greetings on this the Monday of the Fifth Week of Easter
Readings: Acts 14:5-18; Psalm 115:1-2, 3-4, 15-16; John 14:21-26
Summary
The Advocate, the holy Spirit that the Father will send in my name—he will teach you everything and remind you of all that [I] told you (Jn 14:26).
Reflection
The Holy Spirit leads us into understanding life in a whole new way.
This is a vision according to which every person is recognized in their uniqueness: “no one is confused with another, no one is lost. Faith of this kind, Pope Leo XIV explained, “frees our hearts from the anxiety of having and achieving, from the illusion of chasing a prestigious place in order to have value.” Human dignity does not depend on social recognition: “each person already has infinite worth in the mystery of God, which is the only true reality.” – Pope Leo XIV
Personal Reflection
Material things give a false sense of meaning, purpose and belonging – all fundamental human needs. Today let us see ourselves and others within the infinite love.
