## Resource

I reflect on the spiritual significance of the upcoming Pentecost, emphasizing the need for believers to prepare their souls for the Holy Spirit. He recounts his own journey to the priesthood and ordination under Blessed Alvaro del Portillo, while urging prayers for a new group of deacons. Using the metaphor of an empty bag, he explains that individuals must practice detachment from worldly distractions and grudges to create space for divine grace. I interpret the Gospel of John, noting that Christ’s departure was a necessary prerequisite for the arrival of the Advocate. Ultimately. I highlight how the Holy Spirit reveals moral truths and helps the faithful overcome sinful attachments and judgmental attitudes.
