Romans 4:13,16-18, Luke 12:8-12

“Open to the Spirit of love”
‘He who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.’ Why did Jesus say this? Why is blaspheming against the Holy Spirit not to be forgiven?

Reflection
Romans 3:21-30, Luke 11:47-54

“Stop closing doors!”
Jesus calls each one of us to return to God’s love and return to the simplicity of our Christian faith. He wants us to be authentic Christians whose lives truly attract others to God.

Reflection
Malachi 3:13-20, Luke 11:5-13

“How much more...”
If the friend would wake up to help his friend in need; if a father, with his human limitations, would give to his child what is good, how much more of the gift of His Holy Spirit would God give to those who ask Him. Many times, we pray by asking Jesus for material needs and wants. However, we must not forget that the true prayer of a child of God is a daily asking with open hands for what he/she really needs, i.e. the guiding presence of the Holy Spirit.
