Gospel
John 16:5-11
Unless I go, the Advocate will not come to you
Jesus said to his disciples:
‘Now I am going to the one who sent me.
Not one of you has asked, “Where are you going?”
Yet you are sad at heart because I have told you this.
Still, I must tell you the truth:
it is for your own good that I am going
because unless I go,
the Advocate will not come to you;
but if I do go,
I will send him to you.
And when he comes,
he will show the world how wrong it was,
about sin,
and about who was in the right,
and about judgement:
about sin: proved by their refusal to believe in me;
about who was in the right: proved by my going to the Father and your seeing me no more;
about judgement: proved by the prince of this world being already condemned.’
Reflection
Many times in our life we feel God is so far away and that is when we are facing challenges. The truth is God is not far from us.He is near because he has send his advocate the holy spirit. The problem is our lack of trust . We prefer to use our strength instead of the power of prayer.
Let us pray
Come holy spirit fall afresh on me feel me with your power satify my need Only you can make me whole give me strength to make me grow Come holy spirit fall afresh on me
Amen
