John 16:5-11... Coming of the Advocate
John 16:5-11 Coming of the Advocate
[Jesus said to his disciples,] “Now, I am going to the one who sent me, and not no one of you ask me. ‘Where are you going?’ But because I told you this, grief has filled your hearts. But I tell you the truth, it is better for you that I go, I will send him to you. And when he comes he will convict the world in regard to sin and righteousness and condemnation: sin, because they do not believe in me, righteousness because I am going to the Father and you will no longer see me, condemnation because the ruler of this world has been condemned.”

Reflect… Jesus presents the Holy Spirit as a defense attorney. In case of persecution, for example, Jesus tells us; ”Do not worry beforehand about what to say. In that hour, say what you are inspired to say. It will not be yourselves speaking but the Holy Spirit.” (Mk 13:11; see also John 15:26)
