Spiritual Reflections From a Priest in the Rockies
Our Lord shared so much with the Apostles during the course of the Last Supper. He revealed to them the mystery of the Holy Eucharist, ordained them bishops and priests of the New Covenant, commanded them to wash one another's feet as a sign of their commitment to service, broke their hearts in saying one of them would betray Him, and affirmed them that to look upon His countenance was to see the very Face of God, a Face that had been veiled since the fall in Eden and was now shown to the world in the divine person of Jesus of Nazareth.
With so many mysteries being revealed, we might forget that in the course of the Last Supper, our Lord also spoke of another tremendous revelation: That it was better for the Apostles that He ascend into heaven to be with His Father! How could this be? Was not walking with Jesus to already be experience Heaven itself? How could Him departing this world possibly be better for His Apostles who relied so much on His guidance and example? Jesus alleviated these fears in telling of the arrival of the Advocate, the divine Helper and Guide who would lead the Apostles and all who bear the name of Christian to the fullness of truth and courage to imitate the life and example of our Saviour.
That the Holy Spirit came upon the earth and Jesus departed from this world after having loved His own and loving them to the end maybe a mystery we struggle to comprehend. After all, have we not all wondered if the world would not be a much better place had Jesus simply remained on the earth, as our king and teacher, continually reminding us to reject what is evil and love doing what is good?
In part, it maybe that we have not opened our hearts to the Holy Spirit and so have not yet realized the essential role He plays in helping us to live as Christians and be the presence of Christ to others, and even more profoundly that His presence among us is a greater aid in living as Christians than if Jesus had chosen to remain upon the earth!!!
With Pentecost approaching, let us take the necessary to time speak to the Holy Spirit and welcome Him as a sweet guest within our souls.
In Jesus Through Mary,
