DIVINE WHISPER with FR. PIUSRALPH EFFIONG, SMMM

          SEVENTEENTH DAY WITH MARY

Mystery of the day (Wednesday): Glorious

Theme: The Spirit will guide you into all the Truth. 

"I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth..." (John 16:12-13)

The journey of every Christian is characterized by a share in the passion experience of our Lord. Amidst this, the Spirit who is the comforter and counsellor leads. It is in the light of this that our Lord and Saviour following the gospel pericope of Evangelist John avers:

"I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth..." (John 16:12-13)

As part of the farewell speech before His Ascension, He made this solemn promise of sending the Spirit upon the disciples so that the hidden treasures of the Kingdom shall be revealed. 

In our spiritual journey we are sometimes beclouded with untold situations and spiritual desert experience because we are not being guided by the Spirit. 

Consequent upon this, we need the Holy Spirit to moderate us, guide and lead us to the eternal Truth in God. Humanly, we cannot go beyond our space except the Spirit directs. 

Finally, we need the Spirit to lead us, else we will certainly get it wrong.

MARY, Mother of Mercy - Pray for us

Peace, be with you!

Let us pray

Grant, we pray, O Lord, that, as we celebrate in mystery the solemnities of your Son’s Resurrection, so, too, we may be worthy to rejoice at his coming with all the Saints. Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God forever and ever. Amen.
