The Holy Spirit in the Day to Day

The Holy Spirit is the breath from the mouth of the Father that gives us life. “I will put my spirit in you that you may come to life, and I will settle you in your land. Then you shall know that I am the LORD. I have spoken; I will do it—oracle of the LORD.

New American Bible. (2011). (Revised Edition., Eze 37:14). Washington, DC: The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.

The Holy Spirit sent by the Father resurrected Jesus from among the dead. Jesus, who because of our sins was buried in the tomb. The Lord want to put in us the same Spirit. In the situation in which we live, with big or small problems, situations that tie us, that discourage us, dragged us down as the dead. The Holy Spirit, the Paraclete who resurrected Jesus from the dead, will raise us up!

This is the work of the Holy Spirit, to resurrected, to take from the dust that is without life. “And if the Spirit of He who resurrected Christ from among the dead lives in you, He that resurrected Christ from among the dead will also bring to live your dead bodies through the Spirit that lives in you.” (Romans 8:11)

Be certain that “your dead will rise”: your marriage, your family and all your loved ones will rise, but it is necessary that you proclaim the Word of God. The Lord is sending the same Spirit who resurrected Jesus from among the dead.
