The Living Water of the Holy Spirit The water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of living water, welling up into eternal life. This is a new kind of water, a living, leaping water welling up for those who are worthy. But why did Christ call the grace of the Spirit water? Because all things dependent on water; plants and animals have their origin in water. Water comes down from Heaven in rain and although it is always the same in itself , it produces many different effects, one in the palm tree, another in the vine, and so on throughout the whole creation. It does not come down, now as one thing , now as another but while remaining essentially the same, it adapts itself to the needs of every creature that receives it. In the same way the Holy Spirit, whose nature is always the same, simple and indivisible, apportions grace to each man as he wills. Like a dry tree which puts forth shoots when watered, the soul bears the fruit of holiness when repentance has made it worthy of receiving the Holy Spirit. Although the Spirit never changes, the effects of this action, by the will of God and in the name of Christ, are both many and marvelous . The Spirit makes one man a teacher of divine truth, inspires another to prophesy , gives another the power of casting out devils, enables another to interpret the holy Scripture. The Spirit strengthens one man’s self-control, shows another how to help the poor, teaches another to the needs of the body, trains another for martyrdom. His action is different in different people, but the Spirit himself is always the same. In each person, Scripture says, The Spirit reveals his presence in a particular way for the common good. The Spirit comes gently and makes himself known by his fragrance. He is not felt as a burden, for he is light, very light. Rays of light and knowledge stream before him as he approaches. The Spirit comes with tenderness of a true friend and protector to save, to heal, to teach , to counsel, to strengthen , to console. The Spirit comes to enlighten the mind first of the one who receives him, and then, through him, the minds of others as well. As light strikes the eyes of a man who comes out of darkness into the sunshine and enables him to see clearly things he could not discern before, so light floods the soul of the man counted worthy of receiving the Holy Spirit and enables him to see things beyond the range of human vision, things hitherto undreamed of. From a catechetical instruction by Saint Cyril of Jerusalem, bishop (Cat..16 De Spiritu Sancto 1, 11-12. 16:PG 33, 931-935. 939-942)

June 4 ~ Pentecost Sunday

Marriage Banns

It is Pentecost, the birthday of the Church! It is called that because Pentecost is when the apostles went out among the people and began spreading Jesus’ message, thus establishing the beginning of the Church. Filled with the Holy Spirit the disciples were unable to hold in how they had experienced the mighty acts of God. We too, have seen God’s mighty deeds. The birth of a baby, an illness healed, success in school or in a new job are all God’s marvelous work. This feast reminds us that the Holy Spirit has poured upon us the gifts we need to speak of the ways God is working in our lives. Don’t let this day end without speaking of God’s mighty deeds.
