Thought of the Day May 2, 2025 Anointed witness
Jesus tells us that the Spirit would testify about him and we are to testify as well. The Spirit is the one who reveals the truth about Jesus to us. We, in turn, are to testify to others about who Jesus is to us. That is one of the reasons we are confirmed, namely to be a witness, one who has had a personal encounter with Jesus, the Lord. St. Peter in his First Letter makes this statement: "Venerate the Lord, that is ,Christ in your hearts. Should anyone ask you the reason for this hope of yours, be ever ready to reply, but speak gently and respectfully." (3:15-16). Unfortunately, we fail in this, because we feel unequipped. That is the time to ask the Holy Spirit, not only to give you the opportunity to share your testimony, but the words to share as well in a way that will touch the person's heart. In other words, be attentive to the grace of the Holy Spirit. Then, step out in faith and share boldly.
