The Spirit Is Not Obvious in the High-Pressure World, But It's Very Much Active in Our Lives

The Holy Spirit is not a vague power or invisible force. It's God dwelling in us and shaping our lives, coming close to claim us as His own, to draw us into a relationship of unconditional love, forgiveness and trust. In a fast-pace, high-tech, high-pressure environment, the Holy Spirit may not seem obvious. But it's very much active in our lives. It's the quiet conviction that nudges you to forgive your spouse after an argument, or the courage to speak up at your workplace, or the peace that gently settles in your heart after a disastrous day, or the strengthen you didn't know you have when you care for your parent suffering from dementia or child with special needs. The Spirit often comes not with noise, but with presence. It speaks in stillness. All that we need is an open heart.- Sunday Homily by Fr. Antony Prabhu, C.Ss.R. (8 June 2025)
