May 27, 2023. Gospel John 14:15-21. Vigil of Pentecost.

John 14:15-21. Eve of the Pentecost. “14:15. If you love me, keep my commandments. 14:16. And I will ask the Father: and he shall give you another Paraclete, that he may abide with you for ever: Paraclete. . .That is, a comforter: or also an advocate; inasmuch as by inspiring prayer, he prays, as it were, in us, and pleads for us. For ever. . .Hence it is evident that this Spirit of Truth was not only promised to the persons of the apostles, but also to their successors through all generations. “14:17. The spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, nor knoweth him. But you shall know him; because he shall abide with you and shall be in you. 14:18. I will not leave you orphans: I will come to you. 14:19. Yet a little while and the world seeth me no more. But you see me: because I live, and you shall live. 14:20. In that day you shall know that I am in my Father: and you in me, and I in you. 14:21. He that hath my commandments and keepeth them; he it is that loveth me. And he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father: and I will love him and will manifest myself to him.” Excerpt From The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Complete Anonymous https://books.apple.com/us/book/the-bible-douay-rheims-complete/id955129088 This material may be protected by copyright.
