Acts 14:5-18 / John 14:21-26
When it comes to faith and spiritual promptings, it certainly goes beyond the logical and rational.
People who have a deep faith will also have a spiritual sense of who and what is around them.
When they read, it is more than just words.
They read moods, they read vibes, they read body language.
When they notice, they will also sense the promptings of the Holy Spirit.
In the 1st reading, the crippled man caught the eye of St. Paul as he was preaching.
Seeing that the man had the faith to be cured, St. Paul said to him in a loud voice: Get to your feet – stand up”
And the crippled man jumped up and began to walk.
Certainly, it was not St. Paul who cured the crippled man.
The Holy Spirit prompted St. Paul, and he became the instrument of God’s healing for the crippled man.
Let us pray that with our faith, we will also grow in spirit to understand the ways of God.
May we be attentive to the promptings of the Holy Spirit to do what the Lord God wants of us.
