## Resource

Sunday Mass. 5.17.26. In this homily, I reflect on the Ascension and why Jesus said it was better that He go. I explore who the Holy Spirit really is — not an impersonal force, but a person of God living within every believer — and how His presence changes everything about how we live our faith.
