6th Sunday of Easter (A)

Dhikr for the 6^th Sunday of Easter (A):

Readings: Acts 8: 5-8; 14-17; 1 Peter 3: 15-18; John 14: 15-21

Text: “I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate to be with you always, the Spirit of truth, which the world cannot accept, because it neither sees nor knows it. But you know it, because it remains with you, and will be in you.” (John 14: 16-17)

Meditation: Jesus does not leave as orphans.. He sends the Spirit, our Advocate, to be with us always... The Spirit – the Advocate- is the source of our HOPE. And this hope gives us a sense of God’s fidelity at all times, especially when relationships collapsed or threatened. Hope also gives us strength and courage in times of persecution, discrimination, exclusion and difficulties.
