[Grem] Gospel meditation

[Emoke Greschik]

Friends, in our Gospel today, *Jesus assures us that the Holy Spirit will
help us when we face persecution*. *Speaking to his disciples the night
before he dies, Jesus says that he and his Father will send another
Parakletos (Advocate). That word, stemming from kaleo (to call) and para
(for, or on behalf of), designates *something like a lawyer*, someone who
would plead on behalf of another, who would support, advocate, encourage.*

*Jesus is saying that while he will depart physically from the scene*, *he
and his Father will send the Spirit as a friend*. *This is the advocate who
will inspire Christians up and down the ages. *

*When the martyrs went to their deaths*,* it was with the help of the Holy
Spirit; when the missionaries went to proclaim the faith in hostile lands,
it was the Holy Spirit who pleaded on their behalf*;* when Edith Stein went
with her Gestapo captors to Auschwitz,* *she too went with the Holy Spirit**.
*
*And that same Spirit is with you today, right now. *


*Imádkozzál érettünk, Istennek szent Anyja!  Hogy méltók lehessünk Krisztus
ígéreteire!  Könyörögjünk! Kérünk téged, Úristen, öntsd lelkünkbe szent
kegyelmedet, hogy akik az angyali üzenet által szent Fiadnak, Jézus
Krisztusnak megtestesülését megismertük, az ő kínszenvedése és keresztje
által a föltámadás dicsőségébe vitessünk! Krisztus, a mi Urunk által. Ámen.*
