TODAY'S REFLECTION
The ability to endure persecution and trials for the sake of the Gospel is one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, who is the Lord and Giver of Life. The Spirit strengthens the Christians in his daily life to constantly bear witness to the risen Lord. The experience of Paul and Silas shows that God can use any human situation to advance His kingdom. If we dispose ourselves to Him the Spirit still works in us, and through us, for the salvation of souls. May the Advocate who proceeds from the Father and the Son grant us the firm resolve of carrying our crosses daily to follow Jesus.
