Saturday, V week of Easter: 9th May, 2015
Acts 16: 1-10; Jn 15: 18-21
Almost gone are those days when people bound for a place that they have never been to, find their destinations with the help of people on the road, bystanders, fellow passengers etc. Now a days with the smart phones everyone is GPS Enabled: Global Positioning System!
Today in the first reading we find the apostles also GPS enabled. They are instructed where to go and where not to go. The GPS here is... God's Powerful Spirit. Jesus warns them wherever they go there will be people against them, because they are his disciples. But nothing to worry because they have GPS enabled: God's Protecting Spirit. Come what may, with all the troubles and persecutions the disciples will go on and on because they are GPS Enabled: God's Propelling Spirit.
The invitation to us is to be disciples of Christ in our daily life with all its struggles and temptations-disciples who have GPS Enabled!
