Christ Taking Leave of the Apostles, by Duccio via Wikimedia Commons
We praise and thank you
glorious Lord Jesus Christ,
for being present among us and in us.
In us you praise the Father
with the voice of the Spirit,
whom you have given us.
Lord, may this voice of the Spirit
be roused in us
as we listen to the words of Scripture
in a manner that is worthy and fitting,
appropriate to the meaning of the text and
in harmony with what is revealed to us.
Make us ready to recognize
how we can correspond
to the teaching and example proposed to us.
For you are God, living and reigning
for ever and ever. Amen.
Carlo Maria Martini, SJ, 1927-2012,Italian Biblical Scholar

When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth.
He will not speak on his own but will tell you what he has heard.
He will tell you about the future.
He will bring me glory by telling you whatever he receives from me.
All that belongs to the Father is mine; this is why I said,
‘The Spirit will tell you whatever he receives from me.’

I love this Eric
