“The one who comes from above is above all. The one who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of earthly things. But the one who comes from heaven is above all. He testifies to what he has seen and heard, but no one accepts his testimony. Whoever does accept his testimony certifies that God is trustworthy. For the one whom God sent speaks the words of God. He does not ration his gift of the Spirit. The Father loves the Son and has given everything over to him. Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains upon him.” —John 3:31-36

As a part of Christ’s Body here on earth, our task is to testify to what we have seen and heard. We do not ration our particular gift of the Spirit, but share it freely as we speak God’s Truth. We worry not if they believe, only that we testify so the whole world hears the Gospel.

Saint Bernadette Soubirous of Lourdes, pray for us.

Jesus, I trust in you.
