Christian life is not just an ethical life: it is an encounter
with Jesus Christ. And the Holy Spirit makes it possible.
Pope Francis talked about this during his homily on Mon-
day morning. He warned, as he often does, that all those of us who have been baptized and confirmed in the Holy
Spirit do not always live according to the Holy Spirit, deeply focused on the love of God with fearlessness.
He said:
We keep the Holy Spirit as a “luxury prisoner” in our hearts: we do not allow the Spirit to push us forward, to move us. The Sprit does everything, knows everything, reminds us what Jesus said, can explain all about Jesus. There is only one thing the Holy Spirit can’t do: make us parlor Christians … The Holy Spirit cannot make us virtual Christians who are not virtuous. The Holy Spirit makes real Christians. The Spirit takes life as it is and propheti-cally reads the signs of the times pushing us forward…
The Holy Father urged reflection on the action of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Think about whether we have the cour-
age to go out into the world bearing witness to Jesus.
Realize this Pentecost Sunday that the Holy Spirit, who is
within our hearts, for the grace of obedience and docility to the Spirit. It will make us better Christians. People will
see the difference.
Pray for the strength to trust in the love of the God who
invites us into the life of the Trinity.
With love and prayers,
Fr. Francis

Weekly quote from St. Philip Neri:
“When a scrupulous person has once made up his mind that
he has not consented to a temptation, he must not reason the
matter over again to see whether he has really consented or
not, for the same temptations often return by making this sort
of reflections.”
