The Holy Spirit: God’s presence in our lives in the now

For 15 October 2011, Memorial of Saint Teresa of Jesus, virgin and doctor of the Church, based on Lk 12:8-12

Jesus said to his disciples:

“I tell you, everyone who acknowledges me before others, the Son of Man also will acknowledge before the angels of God; but whoever denies me before others will be denied before the angels of God. And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven; but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. When they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, do not worry about how you are to defend yourselves or what you are to say; for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that very hour what you ought to say.”
