Seventh Week of Easter

Jesus’ Disciples realized that He knew everything, and it must have stung when He said they would abandon Him. Nevertheless, the Lord wanted His friends to have peace and courage. Through the Disciples, more people would come to believe. Saint Paul once asked about a dozen Ephesians if they received the Holy Spirit when they became believers. They had never heard of the Holy Spirit until the day Paul Baptized them. To fulfill our Baptismal mission by using our blessings well, do we follow Jesus’ example of prayer to the Father and attentiveness to people around us?
