The Spirit of God lives in the Church and in each person. This is the gift and the promise that the Lord made to us. And so if we turn to the Spirit and ask for guidance and inspiration our prayer will not go unheeded. We will be given sensitivity to the needs of others and a loving desire to help them. These gifts of the Spirit are all forms of “seeing” and once we see, we will not know how to act. St. Paul in his life journey, was given new sight by the Lord after being struck blind on the Damascus road. His new sight proved to be tremendous vision. He could see the glory of God ahead of him as our glorious destination. He could also see that even our sufferings can be beneficial events in our life, that we can bring good out of them. Suffering leads to patience, and patience leads to perseverance, and perseverance to hope, and our hope will not deceive us. The brightness of God now blesses our lives and calls us to bless one another, in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
