Moved by the Holy Spirit

In the first reading, Saint Paul moved by the Spirit is now in Athens, the artistic and spiritual center of Greece at the time. Paul preaches at the Areopagus using the philosophy of the ancient Greeks in his arguments. He appreciates what is positive in their culture, in order to better introduce them to the true God, although still unknown. Without doubt, Paul is animated by the Spirit, which is a creative and innovative spirit.

It is this Spirit that Jesus promised to his disciples. With the Holy Spirit, we too will be led to the complete truth. The first truth for us, is Faith in Jesus and that the Holy Spirit truly lives within and among us.

Are we open to the truths of our Christian faith?

Are we ready to listen to the Spirit alive among us? In Athens there were those who believed and those who refused to believe and instead mocked Paul. Which category do you belong to?
