Today’s Gospel speaks further to fortify our faith. Christ promises that we are not abandoned with his ascension. The powerful Holy Spirit will come as the disciples experience the Pentecost.
Jesus reminds his disciples and us all that we are his followers, because he has chosen us; we have not chosen him. We do not confer any favor on Jesus by following him.
Reflect, today, upon the way you approach God’s priests and bishops. How do you speak about them? Do you seek Christ in them? Are you open to Christ ministering through them?
