(Jesus said to his disciples) “When the Advocate
comes whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds
from the Father, he will testify to me. And you also testify, because you have
been with me from the beginning.
“I have told you this so that you may not fall away.
They will expel you from the synagogues; in fact, the hour is coming when
everyone who kills you will think he is offering worship to God. They will do
this because they have not known either the Father or me. I have told you this
so that when their hour comes you may remember that I told you.”

Reflection:
Who is the advocate of your life?
We know that the Advocate is the Holy Spirit, It
moves our lives; it whispers to us. And we listen to what it tells us for what
it tells us is for our own good. However, not everyone knows the Holy Spirit,
not everyone listens to it and not everyone feels its presence.
We have a role to accomplish to those who don’t know
and feel the presence and role of the Holy Spirit/Advocate. And what is our
role? Our role is to introduce the advocate to them. We gently educate and guide them we gently advice them.
Thus, we give them something that they could hold on
forever no other than the Holy Spirit. And when they already have an awareness we
take a backseat and let it move in their life.
You are the visible representation of Jesus in this
world. Your fellowmen will know Jesus through your exercise of love, gentleness
and humility. By these acts you give them an awareness of the presence of the
advocate.
You therefore have to always be like Jesus. – Marino
