the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him; you know him, for he dwells with you, and will be in you.

Words of Jesus

And I will pray the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him; you know him, for he dwells with you, and will be in you.

John 14:16-17

Whatever, wherever I am, I can never be thrown away. If I am in sickness, my sickness may serve Him. He does nothing in vain. He may prolong my life, He may shorten it, He knows what He is about. He may make my spirits sink, hide the future from me, still He knows what He is about.

— John Henry Cardinal Newman

Abba, Father, Lord God, thank Your continued blessings, the memories from this weekend, the signs to server as answers to my questions, and today's readings that go direct to the heart of the matter which occupies my thoughts as I contemplate to practice in conscious acts Thy will to be done and fight off any doubt hidden in human reason or knowledge to which I already know to be flawed by its own very nature. So lift me up and out of myself and place my feet next to Jesus where in the Holy Spirit I know I can find what I need for today and in doing so server Your will accordingly. For as Peter spoke, "… by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,… This is the stone which was rejected …, but which has become the head of the corner. And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." And as the Psalmist sings, 'Every day I will bless Thee, and praise Thy name…' for Your 'greatness is unsearchable. One generation shall laud Thy works to another, and shall declare Thy mighty acts. Men shall proclaim the might of Thy terrible acts, and I will declare Thy greatness.' In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
