Celebrate OurMissionary Saints
The Holy Spirit
The Paraclete, our comforter and advocate, is not technically a saint yet He animates our mission. As Pope Francis said during his 2021 Pentecost homily, the Holy Spirit "comes down within us; as the Spirit, he acts in our spirit. He comes down “within the heart”, as “the soul’s most welcome guest.” He is the very love of God, who does not abandon us; for being present to those who are alone is itself a source of comfort."
Reflection question: Where is God sending you on mission for Christ today?Read more inspiration from Pope Francis about the Holy Spirit.
