Title: Meditation: Wednesday, May 15, 2002

The Catholic Calendar for Wednesday, May 15, 2002    Seventh Week of Easter    St. Isidore Scripture from today's Liturgy of the Word:    Acts 20:28-38    Psalm 68:29-30,33-36    John 17:11-19 A Reflection on Today's Scripture: Partings are usually sad, especially when we know we'll never see a person again -- or for a very long time. All the more important to cherish those whom God has placed in our lives. It's also true that we only learn the full truth of our experiences through later memories. The coming of the Holy Spirit will soon be celebrated liturgically at Pentecost. What better way to prepare than to remember past experiences of His coming into our lives -- perhaps through a Charismatic prayer group in days past, or through some special happening in ministry or family crisis. And cherish the intense hopes that Jesus has for us in today's Gospel -- the closest possible bond of friendship in the Spirit.         O Lord,              we resolve to be more alert to your Spirit. - Msgr.
