Tuesday of the 6th week of Eastertide
Gospel John 16:5-11,
“…because unless I go, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I do go, I will send him to you”. Now we are at the end of the Paschal Weeks, when we are going to celebrate the Feast of Ascension. The reality of incarnation continues after the ascension with the mission of the Third person of the Holy Trinity, the Holy Spirit. So, the readings in this week is about the work of the Holy Spirit. With the Ascension of Jesus Christ to the heaven, what is going to happen with us? We are not to be left alone. We are going to be loved and taken care by the Holy Spirit. This is what Jesus Christ is telling us. “Still, I must tell you the truth: it is for your own good that I am going”. This good which Jesus Christ is telling us is the accompaniment of the Holy Spirit in our daily life. Let’s reflect: Easter is God’s constant and eternal accompaniment to humanity.
