Today, we look at a woman who expressed her repentance through tears, kisses, and an extravagant act of love. Jesus showed that forgiveness can change the way a person sees God, others, and even oneself.

Today, we look at how Christianity in Korea began with seemingly small seeds planted by laypeople who discovered the faith through books and shared what they learned with others. The gospel reminds us that what looks small at the beginning can grow deeply when it finds a heart willing to receive it and live it.

Today, we look at Joanna, a woman who supported Jesus and his disciples even though she never became one of the famous voices of the early Christian movement. Her story reminds us that important work often depends on people who serve quietly, give generously, and make it possible for others to keep going.

Reflect, today, upon the Truth as it resides in the mind of the Father in Heaven. How open are you to the Truth? How fully do you embrace all that God wants to reveal to you? Open yourself more fully to the Holy Spirit and seek all that He wishes to reveal to you.
In less than two weeks, we will celebrate the Solemnity of Pentecost. This is the annual celebration of the fulfillment of this promise of Jesus. On that day we commemorate the fact that the Holy Spirit has come and that we are now in the time of the Holy Spirit.
Reflect, today, upon any way that you experience persecution in your life. Allow it to become an opportunity for hope and trust in the Lord through the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. He will never leave your side if you trust in Him.
Today’s Gospel speaks further to fortify our faith. Christ promises that we are not abandoned with his ascension. The powerful Holy Spirit will come as the disciples experience the Pentecost.
