Scripture, Reflection and Prayer for Monday, May 18, 2009

I will ask the Father and He will give you another Advocate to dwell with you forever, the Spirit of truth.
- Jn 14:16-17

Reflection: Christ did not found an abstract religion, a mere school of religious thought. He set up a community of apostles, of teachers, with the task of spreading His message and so giving rise to a society of believers: His Church. He promised the spirit of truth to His Church and then sent Him.
- Pope Paul VI

Prayer: Lord Jesus, continue to send Your Spirit upon the Church. May I too hear Your call and follow You wherever You lead me.
