Where the Holy Spirit is at home.
Rich soil brings colourful meadow
At Pentecost, at Confirmation, at a joyful celebration of the Holy Mass - we hear many
times about the Holy Spirit. It seems the Holy Spirit is a famous Personality in our Church.
Today (15. Sun A) Paulus (Rom 8.9,11-13) has for all Christians a very interesting message. As you ask "where is the Holy Spirit at home?" Paulus insists: in YOU. "The Holy Spirit has made his home in you".
The Holy Spirit a source of Life, a source of Holiness, a source of courage and attentiveness
etc... etc... really in YOU at home ??? !!!
In this situation we put three questions:
A) Is there a prove for this reality ? YES !!!
Whenever you see or hear of somebody who is full of Life, is courageous, is attentive etc...
is on the way to Holiness... this is a prove the Holy Spirit is there at work .
B) Is it possible to tap this source, dwelling in me ? YES !!!
1. You must decide: YES - I suppose this Spirit is somehow in me.
2. You must locate this Spirit as the power to present yourself as good.
an example: You have eyes. Now you start to use the eyes better to see what is going on
in the world and what is going well and good. You make exercises to look into the world friendly, welcoming... You train your eyes to give courage...
3. Because this Holy Spirit is like the wind, you pay attention from where and in which
direction he is blowing.
C) Is it possible to evoke the Spirit ? Sure - but it's a special Art, named the Art of
animating (the contrary of force!)
If you life with the Holy Spirit, if you dip yourself into this Spirit... you will experience that you are "rich soil" (Mt 13.1-9) for the Word of God and this Word will produce wonderful fruit - for you, for others and for the Community.
Try to discover the Holy Spirit in YOU.
