WHAT A PARADOX Lord Jesus, the Messiah, leaves his people to send the Holy Spirit and be closer to them. He warns, guides, encourages, and prepares his disciples (including us) for all this. Still, it is almost too much. He is with us, behind us, ahead of us, and waiting for us to catch him. The Spirit and the bride say, "Come, follow, and do not be timid. Enter through the gate to feed from the Tree of Life." Come, Lord Jesus! Give us courage. Nourish us on yourself to take the first step. Amen! Text, Philip J. Sandstrom, STD © 2000, OCP.
