Sweet Guest of the Soul (5/31)

The HOLY SPIRIT permanently dwells in the heart of the Church, the Mystical Body of Christ.

Sacred Scripture teaches the HOLY SPIRIT was active in Christ’s soul, directing Him in the accomplishment of His redemptive mission. Assuredly, Jesus could have carried out this mission alone, but He eagerly desired for the CHURCH to participate in it.

God made us to participate in His live and love – not apart from it!

Established by Christ so to continue His saving work, the CHURCH has the same HOLY SPIRIT permanently dwelling in her. We need the HOLY SPIRIT, the Lord and Giver of Life.

The HOLY SPIRIT operates in the CHURCH now, just as He once did in the blessed soul of Christ. He brings the CHURCH to life, animates her, inspires her to love, moving her confidently and compassionate to proclaim God’s Kingdom established by Christ’s redemptive work and available to all.

Let the HOLY SPIRIT be unleashed within you to deepen your love of God and neighbor. Yield to His powerful loving invasion. Open wide the doors of your will and permit the HOLY SPIRIT to direct your thoughts and actions.
