Reflection - 67

We all are called to become future priests, so please do not try to act as a priest at the last movement of the ordination, which is an impossible thing. When God called us he made all of us his own. If we are not trying to become a good priest in our seminary life, we cannot be a good priest after our ordination. We all are called to be holy like every saint. In the world there are many saints, each of them could change the world and they helped many souls to reach heaven. If we will try to become a holy priest for the Catholic Church, we can also help many souls to reach heaven. For that we should have the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus has a told us that the Holy Spirit will teach you everything. If we will ask to God for Holy Spirit he will fill us with Holy Spirit. We should thrust for Holy Spirit like Elisha. That we can see in the Old Testament. And his calling is very important which says in the (1Kings 19:19-21).

In this Bible passage we can see the calling of Elisha. Alisha became the servant of Elijah. After many years Elijah asked to Elisha that what do you want from me.  Elisha replayed only one thing that was the double share of your spirit what you have.

Elisha asked only the God’s spirit. He did not ask any other things because he experienced the power of God’s spirit through Elijah. So he had no need money or any possession, except the spirit of God.

Let us ask God to fill us with the power of the Holy Spirit. Without Holy Spirit we cannot become a good priest. Therefore let us thirst for Holy Spirit like Elisha.
