John 20:7-8
“When the Advocate comes whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father…”

The Philippine National election was generally peaceful. The Filipinos once again proved that democracy works. There were a lot of problems innthis first automated election, but everyone remained calm, patiently waiting for their turns to vote. The spirit of democracy lives.
As the Spirit of Life also lives in us.
There is no gift of God more excellent than this, and there is no greater gift of God than the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit came to remain with the Church forever. This is the promise of Jesus Himself. He dwells in the Church permanently and unfailingly, performing in it without ceasing, His action of life-giving and sanctification.
While each “personage” in the Trinity is distinct in function, each shares together in the same deity and each reflects the divine attributes of the one living God.
May we confidently and continually beg of Him to illuminate us daily more and more with His light, inflame us with His charity and inspire us with faith and love.
Receive Him and let the Holy Spirit dwell in our hearts, forever.
Receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit, the great advocate.
Let us pray +
Come Holy Spirit, and fill the hearts of your faithful, and kindle in them the fire of Your Divine Love. Send forth Your Spirit and they shall be created, and You shall renew the face of the earth. Oh God, Who by the light of the Holy Spirit instructed the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Spirit we may be truly wise and ever rejoice in His consolation. We ask this through Christ Our Lord. Amen+
The Lord takes delight in his people.
