Day 2
Encyclical Formation 2
The Holy Spirit will ensure that in the Church there will always continue the same truth
Dominum Et Vivificantem (DV), 4
“A little while after the prediction just mentioned Jesus adds: “But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.”19 The Holy Spirit will be the Counselor of the Apostles and the Church, always present in their midst-even though invisible-as the teacher of the same Good News that Christ proclaimed. ….The Holy Spirit, then, will ensure that in the Church there will always continue the same truth which the Apostles heard from their Master.”
Formation Reflection
These words make me stop and wonder, “Do I open my heart enough to the ‘counselor’ who has been provided to guide me today with understanding and hearing the Gospel message for my life?” We all have a desire to know the ‘Truth’ for our lives. Jesus, who is the Truth (Jn 14:6), has provided the Holy Spirit to “ensure there will always continue the same truth which the Apostles heard from their Master.”
Pray: Come Holy deepen in me ‘The Truth’. Reflect for a moment where you seek deeper ‘Truth’ in your life.
