Should our faith be: visible? Is only a baptismal certificate necessary for faith? A lot is written and spoken about by Christians. The story of the three gold diggers tells that after a long time of failure, one of them found a strange stone and when he broke it, he found gold in it. Since then, they only looked for such stones and found gold. They decided to buy tools in town to get to the gold more efficiently. They made a promise not to reveal anything to anyone. On the way back, they discovered that several dozen men were following them. When they asked them what they wanted, they got the answer that they also wanted to come to the gold. Then one of the trio turned to his friends with the question: “Which of you revealed the secret?” The answer was not given by the friends but by one of the men: “None of you said anything. Your faces revealed it.”

Our faith should be reasonably visible. The world needs our testimony of faith.

Jesus also reminds us: “… I am going to the Father…” (Jn 14:28). Jesus said these words in his farewell speech in the supper room. Jesus gives the disciples the promise of the Holy Spirit, whom he calls “Parakletos – Comforter.” The term “Comforter” is not the most appropriate, because it does not express the most serious role of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is an advocate, a representative, a witness … The Holy Spirit is the main Witness of Christ’s resurrection. The Holy Spirit is to teach the world what sin is, to adopt the Beatitudes and the Ten Commandments, and prepare the world for the second coming of Christ to the world. When Jesus goes to the Father, he does not leave the world without help; he gives the promise of the Holy Spirit, with whom we are to cooperate in love. The Apostle John often writes about love. He reminds us of the way to practice love. To love simply means to keep God’s word.The Comforter – The Holy Spirit is supposed to open the doors of our hearts, the minds of our actions. Jesus reminds us that whoever does not prevent the Holy Spirit from working in us, the Father will also love us when we love God. With these words of Jesus, the Church prepares us for Jesus’ Ascension. The Easter season is not only the resurrection of Jesus, but also the ascension of the Lord Jesus, which we will remember this week. The departure of Jesus from earth to the Father is a promise to maintain peace and prepare for the sending of the Holy Spirit, the Comforter. The Holy Spirit will continue the mission in which the Son of God, Jesus Christ, began.

We are aware of the importance of the Holy Spirit – Comforter for the whole world. Even though we had no right to claim the Holy Spirit, Jesus gives us the Holy Spirit as an instrument of peace. Therefore, we, believers, are obliged not to remain silent in cooperation with the Holy Spirit.

Let’s find respect for ourselves again. Don’t put down a broken reed, don’t put out the fire of grace, don’t give up and don’t resign… On the contrary, Mary also speaks in the name of her Son so that we can take advantage of this time of grace. Let’s decide to live more intensively with Mary, and spend more time with the one we know loves us, we will grow in love with her.
