Daily Reflections
It is the Spirit at work within us that gives us the power to bring about God’s Kingdom. The Spirit does not just help us to pray; the Spirit empowers us to act and is the power in our efforts to proclaim the Gospel. Today we rejoice in all that the Spirit causes us to be and enables us to become in the hope of the resurrection.
1 Corinthians 12:3b-7, 12-13 (or Romans 8:8-17)
3 Brothers and sisters: No one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit. 4 There are different kinds of spiritual gifts but the same Spirit; 5 there are different forms of service but the same Lord; 6 there are different workings but the same God who produces all of them in everyone. 7 To each individual the manifestation of the Spirit is given for some benefit. 12 As a body is one though it has many parts, and all the parts of the body, though many, are one body, so also Christ. 13 For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, slaves or free persons, and we were all given to drink of one Spirit.
