THE POWER OF THE SPIRIT
Do you recognize the sacrament that is celebrated in
today’s first reading from the Acts of the Apostles? When
Peter and John imposed hands on those who had been
baptized, they received the Holy Spirit in the sacrament of
confirmation. The reading from the First Letter of Peter
and the passage from John’s Gospel both consider the
results of our baptism and confirmation. Peter reminds us
it is likely that we will have to suffer for what we believe.
In today’s Gospel Jesus speaks clearly about the Holy
Spirit, referring to a “Paraclete,” one who will stand with
us to defend us. Poignantly, Jesus promises his disciples,
and all of us, “I will not leave you orphans.” He has never
left his followers orphaned. We have always had the Holy
Spirit to guide us.
