Our Gospel reading last week offered insight into the
relationship between Jesus and the Father. Today’s reading,
also from Jesus’ farewell discourse, develops this relationship
further to include their relationship with the Holy Spirit. Here,
Jesus is concerned that the disciples not feel alone when he
leaves them. He tells them that they will not be “orphans” and
that the Father will send another Advocate. In Greek, the word
Paraclete means someone whose task is to speak on their
behalf. Jesus promises the disciples the Holy Spirit as the
Paraclete, to take his place to be with them and act on their
behalf. This Spirit will live intimately within the disciples.
Jesus reminds his followers of his call to follow his
commandment of love: “If you love me, you will keep my
commandments.” Love is at the heart of every relationship,
especially our relationship with God and with our neighbor.
We share in the very life of God, a life of love: “Whoever loves
me will be loved by my Father.”
In the reading from Acts, the life of the early Church
flourishes through the power of the Holy Spirit. Hearing that
the Word of God had been preached to the Samaritans, the
Apostles send Peter and John to empower them with the gift of
the Holy Spirit as “they had only been baptized in the name of
the Lord Jesus.” As Jesus came “to baptize with the holy
Spirit” (John 1:33), the Apostles confer the gift of the Holy
Spirit by “laying hands on them.” Here the foundation for the
Sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation is expressed clearly.
