Thursday of the 2nd week of Easter. St Stanislaus, Bishop and Martyr. John 3:31-36

Jesus gives us the spirit without measuring 

We remember that in the Old Testament, certain people were given the Spirit of God for a limited time. These include certain prophets (2 Chronicles 24:20; Micah 3:8; 2 Samuel 23:2), various people (Numbers 24:2, 1 Samuel 19:20), and some of the Judges (Judges 3:10; Judges 6:34), including Samson (Judges 13—16). Jesus, however, has the Spirit of God continuously. This is why He is said to have the Spirit "without measure" or "without limit."

This permanent presence of the Spirit and the fact that Jesus came from heaven are important proofs that He is, in fact, God incarnate (John 1:1; John 1:14). 

Most Fathers of the Church have insisted on the importance of the Holy Spirit in our lives. 

Let's build an intimacy with the one who gives us the Holy Spirit in full measure. 

Come Holy Spirit!
