Bishop Golka's Reflection on the Most Holy Trinity

"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” (Acts 1:8) 

These final words of Jesus before he ascended into heaven are not only fulfilled when the Holy Spirit descended upon the Church on Pentecost but are also fulfilled in every baptized and confirmed Christian who is filled with the power of the Holy Spirit.

During this Jubilee Year of Hope, the Church calls for all of us to be “tangible signs of hope for those of our brothers and sisters who experience hardships of any kind” (Spes Non Confundit, 10). Finding reasons for hope and sharing that hope with others is part of our vocation as Christians. Perhaps one of the greatest areas where the hope of Jesus Christ is needed here in the United States is mental health.
