When Pope Francis canonized Pope John XXIII on September 30, 2013, he pointed to the saint's willingness to follow the Spirit. As followers of Christ, the Holy Spirit gradually unfolds God’s message so that He speaks to us at appropriate times in our lives.
Our capacity to take in what God reveals to us is expandable. When we become more open, the “Spirit of truth” will reveal more and guide us into all the truth. As He guided Pope John XXIII, we are comforted by the knowledge that the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, will also guide us and allow us to know and understand the truth.
This is the 1130th installment of our CFC contemplation series focusing on the daily liturgical readings.
[NOTE: As we continue to pray for Bro Bong Arjonillo’s healing and recovery, let us listen to our brother Raymond Bucu, Head of the CFC Gateway Evangelization Programs, as he brings us today's reflection.
All the regular reflections are between 3-7 minutes long, enough time for us to ponder what God's message is for us individually and to pray that we may live them out in our lives. This video is also available on Couples for Christ’s Facebook page. In You Tube, just type ONLY BY GRACE REFLECTIONS]
