DAY SIX: HOLY SPIRIT – THE COMFORTER

 

REFLECT:

Life is very often a roller-coaster – of emotions, of circumstances, in relationships

>> There are days when things seem to be so good and fine

>> But there are also many days when life seems so bitter, harsh and even unfair

 

This is more so, when one tries to live an honest and a genuine Christian Life – following the teachings and commands of the Lord.

>> Therefore the Lord promised to send “Holy Spirit, the Comforter” (Jn 16:7) to strengthen us and keep us reassured and consoled.

 

The word “Comforter” would mean…

… the One Who runs to our side and picks us up

… in legal terms, the One Who would aid or counsel for the defense

 

The Holy Spirit is our sure assurance of Comfort…

… strengthening us in our moments of crisis, confusions, calamities and uncertainties

… lifting our dropping spirits, raising our falling hearts and energizing our tiring minds

 

 

EXAMINE:

Can I truly invite The Holy Spirit to “be the Comforter of my life”…?

… banking on His power in my weaknesses, failures and helplessness

… drawing courage when everything seems lost and I experience a lot of pain in life

 

 

PRAYER:

Holy Spirit, the Mighty Comforter, help me to depend on You, in my moments of struggle and sadness.

 

Comfort me …

>> with new vigour and hope – when it gets difficult to continue with the tasks entrusted to me, with

>> with enthusiasm and energy – when I fail to be understood by people and when situations turn hostile to me

 

Console me with Your gentleness… empower me with Your peace… cheer me up with Your love, Amen!

 

 

Come Holy Spirit…Come into our hearts… and renew us, in your mighty love and fire!

May God Bless us!
