Joy and Community with the Holy Spirit
Saturday, 9 May, 2026
Today, I return from a medical recovery and share a homily focused on the Sixth Sunday of Easter and the upcoming Pentecost. I use the metaphor of pregnancy to describe the growing anticipation for the Holy Spirit, emphasizing that the Church prepares believers for a new, personal divine presence. The text distinguishes between the Son, who is generated through divine knowledge or Logos, and the Holy Spirit, who proceeds from the mutual love between the Father and the Son. By comparing the Holy Spirit to a second advocate, the speaker encourages his audience to foster a sense of spiritual hunger and active expectation. I conclude by highlighting the Virgin Mary's role as a model for receiving this divine power, which ultimately aims to transform believers into the likeness of Christ.
