We have recently celebrated the Resurrection of Jesus and also the celebration of Pentecost when the Apostles in the upper room recieved the Holy Spirit. The church in its Liturgy celebrated the mystery of the Trinity in a way to explain how we understand our God as well as 'Corpus Christi' - the feast of the body and blood of Christ which tells us our saviour is still with us in the sacraments we celebrate.
The Apostles were changed people after receiving the Holy Spirit and were able to take the message of Jesus to many other people and of course this message coming to us now in the present time.
Baptised Catholics receiving the Holy Spirit in the context of each of our lives encourage us and give us support in teh down times as well as helping us to celebrate the joyful events which come along.
As faith filled people living in our communities we know our God walks with us in our lives giving us the same support. Often this support and his presence comes through our brothers and sisters, fellow travellers on the path of life.
Over the last year or so we have depended upon the giftedness of others 'being there' for us especially during the Covid lockdowns and the general worry which the Pandemic brings with it. I encourage you all to keep on being the presence of 'Christ the Healer' in the context of your everyday lives.

God Bless you all and take care!!
