Sixth Monday of Easter

“When the Advocate comes whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, he will testify to me. And you also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.”

Jesus sent us the Advocate to give us the strength to testify to him and to live out our Christian mission to know, love, and serve God, ourselves, and His children with all our hearts, souls, minds, and strengths. We have only to accept the Holy Spirit into our lives and be true to the Word of God. And how do we testify to Jesus? By being faithful in our thoughts, speaking out in hope, and doing good works.

How can we be more faithful in our lives? More hopeful? More charitable?

O Lord, help us to testify to you always.

Amen.
