Scripture Quote to Ponder and Put in Action: “ Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men.” – Colossians 3:23

Reflection on Today’s Gospel: John 15:26-27, 16:12-15 Discussion Questions:

  • Jesus says in this passage, “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now” How does that message apply to you? Does it make you feel… happy, relieved, disappointed, other?
  • Share a moment / experience when you believe the Holy Spirit was guiding you?
  • In what way does Jesus tell us to discern the Holy Spirit in this passage?
