John 15:26-16:4a
Jesus said to his disciples: "When the Advocate comes whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, he will testify to me. And you also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
"I have told you this so that you may not fall away. They will expel you from the synagogues; in fact, the hour is coming when everyone who kills you will think he is offering worship to God. They will do this because they have not known either the Father or me. I have told you this so that when their hour comes you may remember that I told you."
Dawg's thought:
Today's prayer intention is for those affected by the recent California fires.
At times, I can be a real childish guy. When it comes to asking for help, I'm horrible at it. At times I remind myself of a child who always says, "I can do it."
Trials will come, and when they do, I can either have faith that God is with me, or I can try to tackle things on my own.
Brothers and sisters, we have an Advocate, The Holy Spirit, Who is not near us. He dwells in us, helping us to be faithful in following The Lord's commands.
He dwells in us, Alleluia! Alleluia! Take care and God Bless.
