Memorial of St Justin, Martyr

2 Timothy 1:1-3, 6-12; Ps. 123; Mark 12:18-27

Live the Holy Spirit

Paul reminds Timothy and us to fan into a flame the gift God has given us – the gift of the Holy Spirit; the Spirit of power, of love and of self-control. This is the Spirit of the Good News of Jesus Christ in whom we place our confidence, and knowing our hope is in the Holy Spirit, we can have no doubt that Christ will care for us until the day of his return. In Christ we have the Word of God made flesh who is God of the living not of the dead.
