Daily Meditation: God's Breath Given to Us

Wednesday June 5, 2013  God's Breath Given to Us   Being the living Christ today means being filled with the same Spirit that filled Jesus.  Jesus and his Father are breathing the same breath, the Holy Spirit.  The Holy Spirit is the intimate communion that makes Jesus and his Father one.  Jesus says:  "I am in the Father and the Father is in me"  (John 14:10) and "The Father and I are one"  (John 10:30).  It is this unity that Jesus wants to give us.  That is the gift of his Holy Spirit.   Living a spiritual life, therefore, means living in the same communion with the Father as Jesus did, and thus making God present in the world.        Comment on this Daily Meditation.   Visit our website for inspiration, resources, news, events, community.
