John 16,5-11

May 24, 2022 (Tuesday)
Let us all remember that we are in the Holy Presence of God.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

John 16,5-11
Jesus said, ‘Now I am going to him who sent me; yet none of you asks me, “Where are you going?” But because I have said
these things to you, sorrow has filled your hearts. Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if
I do not go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. And when he comes, he will prove the
world wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment: about sin, because they do not believe in me; about righteousness,
because I am going to the Father and you will see me no longer; about judgment, because the ruler of this world has been condemned.’

Reflection
The Holy Spirit inspires us and breathes in us. Allow the Holy Spirit to bless us with the sevenfold gifts and to have hope, especially in these trying times of our life. How is the Holy Spirit enlightening you and guiding you in your life?

Lasallian Guiding Principle
LGP states that “In De La Salle’s thinking, faith and zeal are inseparable, two dimensions of one spirit.” As Lasallian, we need
to deepen our faith in the Holy Spirit’s powerful action in our life. Let us allow ourselves to be inspired by the Holy Spirit, especially in fulfilling our mission for our brothers and sister.

MISSION PRAYER 2021 Year of Missio Ad Gentes CBCP
God, our loving Father, You sent your Son into the world to proclaim the Good News of Salvation to all: to sinners, the poor,
oppressed, the sick, the abandoned and neglected. He gave His life on the Cross for us and rose again to new life to redeem
us and reconcile us with you. You sent Your Holy Spirit to the Apostles to continue the work of Your Son and to lead all to
salvation. We thank you, Father, for bringing us from darkness into light. Through Your loving plan, 500 years ago,
missionaries came to our land to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus, Your Son, to our ancestors that made us Your people and the
Church. The gift of faith has accompanied us through both darkness and lights, defeats and victories of our history as Your
people. Our faith has become for us true light that shines in the darkness. Renew in us the grace of your Spirit that impels us
to be witnesses of Jesus, Your Son, to a world broken by greed, violence, injustice, sickness and suffering. May our faith bring
us to unity as your children to care for and love one another. May the Holy Spirit empower us to be proclaimers of the Good
News to our brothers and sisters in Asia and to all nations. Give us the sincere desire to help others to come to faith in the
Lord Jesus to share in Your joy and life. May the Blessed Mother, the Star of Evangelization, accompany us and pray for us as
we live and share our faith with others. May our strong love and devotion to her as our Mahal na Ina form us to be true
disciples and witnesses of Jesus to all, always ready to be sent, and to be obedient to whatever Jesus asks of us. We ask this
through Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God forever and ever. Amen.
St. John Baptist de La Salle, pray for us.
St. Miguel Febres Cordero, pray for us.
Live Jesus in our hearts, forever!
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
