Jesus' last words to his apostles point to his saving mission and to their mission to be witnesses of his saving death and his glorious resurrection and to proclaim the good news of salvation to all the world until the end of time. Today we witness a new Pentecost as the Lord pours out his Holy Spirit upon his people to renew and strengthen the body of Christ and to equip it for effective ministry and mission world-wide. The Holy Spirit makes us witnesses of the Lord's work of redemption and his glorious ascension to the right hand of the Father in heaven. Risen Jesus, you breathe the Holy Spirit upon us. B. Roger of Taiz May 24 Love is a word that is often abused.
Love is easy to say.
To live out a love that forgives is another thing altogether. When we touch others in the name of Jesus, we can bring hope and comfort. May 26 Risen Christ, through the Gospel your voice makes itself heard softly. Only one thing is necessary, a heart attentive to my words and to the Holy Spirit. When the inner self is tormented by regrets, it has difficulty in building itself up.
