Who Can Teach Us?

“Thankfully, the Holy Spirit is given to all the baptized believers to teach us, not only to Bishops. Even the best teaching of the Bishops is offered at a generalized level and we need the work of the Holy Spirit to apply it to our particular souls and lives to help bring us into closer communion and conformity with God. And how much more do we need to have recourse directly to the Holy Spirit when a priest or bishop turns out to be a wolf in shepherd’s clothing?

For the sake of our spiritual welfare and even basic survival of faith, we must learn to discern the presence and promptings of the Holy Spirit, in ourselves and in our religious leaders. It is lazy and dangerous to assume that the Holy Spirit invariably speaks through men by virtue of their ordination, and to only test the stirrings of our minds and hearts against the word of individual clerics, no matter how high in the hierarchy. We must faithfully do our own part in contributing to the sensus fidelium. We must learn to sense the breath of the Holy Spirit so that we can receive His true teaching.

“If you love me, you will keep my commandments,” Jesus told us at the Last Supper. “And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, to be with you forever. This is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, because he abides with you, and he will be in you.” (John 14:15-17) The Spirit abides continuously in those who can receive Him, but those who do not love Him are blind guides who cannot see or lead us to truth.”

BLOGGER’S NOTE:  If your unsure in these confusing times go to the Lord.  If you are fortunate to have the Blessed Sacrament exposed all the better.  Go to Mass and renew yourself when you can.  That is our food in these times. Keep close to your Lord through you Blessed Mother.  Ask her guidance.  Say, “Come Holy Spirit Come.” It helps even just to comfort your soul. Don’t worry. Pray. Study your bible. Read good Holy books in these times.  Ones approved by the Church.  I find Father Mitch Pacwa teaching Tradition and Scripture an excellent video series.  God Bless all.
