No More Waiting
Anyone with a shoulder or knee replacement knows it doesn’t happen immediately. Sometimes, doctors try other surgeries and therapies before the joint replacement, followed by months of treatment; it can be up to six months to a year before you fully recover.
Imagine what it would be like to ask, and the pain would be gone. Life in the Spirit is like that. Surrendering everything and waiting to see what God will do next.
Jesus promised He would send His Holy Spirit from His Father. We receive the Holy Spirit in the Sacrament of Confirmation and often think, “That’s it.” But in truth, Jesus sends the Holy Spirit, our Advocate, every moment, instantly, in every situation we encounter throughout the day. His presence is immediate, reassuring us at every step.
God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit do this because they do not want us to live a moment without them. Like any parent, our Father will protect us from danger. No cross will be too heavy to bear, and no task will be too difficult to perform with our Advocate at our side. He is almighty!
Gospel Challenge:
Pray, “Come, Holy Spirit,” in any situation. At that moment, the world moved out of your heart, and Jesus filled you with God’s utter fullness, a profound sense of His presence and love that transcends all understanding.
What are you facing now that is impossible for you but not for Jesus? Keep praying from your heart, “Come, Holy Spirit.” God, in His Providence, will give you His very best. Remember, praying for the Holy Spirit’s guidance is simple, yet it empowers us with God’s strength and wisdom. It’s that simple.
Love Your Neighbor!
