Day 34: Holy Spirit – Comforter 

John 14:26 But the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My name [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all things.

The Holy Spirit leads us along, as a mother leads her two year old child by the hand, as a sighted person leads a blind one. – St John Vianney

As a child is comforted by the mother, so does the Holy Spirit comfort His children, leading them, teaching them and guiding them on the journey. 

Wisdom 8:9 So I determined to take her to live with me, knowing that she would be my counselor while all was well, and my comfort in care and grief.

Virtues are formed by prayer. Prayer preserves temperance. Prayer suppresses anger. Prayer prevents emotions of pride and envy. Prayer draws into the soul the Holy Spirit, and raises man to Heaven. –St. Ephrem

Do you need the Holy Spirit’s comfort in your life? Have you prayed to the Holy Spirit to help you experience His comfort and care? 

Prayer: O Heavenly King, the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth, who art in all places and fillest all things, Treasury of blessings and giver of life: come and dwell in us, cleanse us from every stain, and save our souls, O gracious Lord. 

Come Holy Spirit my comforter, Come!
