John 14:15-21
If you love me, keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father: and he shall give you another Paraclete, that he may abide with you for ever: The spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, nor knoweth him. But you shall know him; because he shall abide with you and shall be in you. I will not leave you orphans: I will come to you. Yet a little while and the world seeth me no more. But you see me: because I live, and you shall live. In that day you shall know that I am in my Father: and you in me, and I in you. He that hath my commandments and keepeth them; he it is that loveth me. And he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father: and I will love him and will manifest myself to him.
Jesus promises the Holy Spirit to those who love Him. The Spirit is God’s abiding presence, guiding, strengthening, and comforting believers. We are never alone in our journey of faith. Easter Season prepares us to celebrate Pentecost, when the Spirit empowered the Church for mission. This Gospel encourages us to be attentive to the Spirit’s work in our lives. By listening to His promptings, we grow in wisdom, holiness, and confidence in God’s plan.
