1 Pt 3:15-18 Jn 14:15-21

The people of Samaria come to worship the Lord and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.  It is this same Spirit who leads us into the truth.  In the body, Jesus was put to death; in the Spirit, he was raised to life.  We are called to this same glory.

 

Let Us Pray…That we may continue to defend the right to life of the unborn who has been rejected by society.
