In this episode of the Catholic Link podcast, Fr. Rob and Fr. George discuss the role of the Holy Spirit within the economy of salvation. As Pentecost approaches, it is important to address this person of the Trinity’s role in salvation. Fr. Rob and Fr. George distinguish the ultimate Fruits of the Spirit with the accidental gifts of the Spirit. While one may have particular charisms associated with the Holy Spirit that manifest in a particular way, the presence of the Holy Spirit cannot be denied where there is love, peace, and charity.
Listen to the previous episode where Fr. Rob discussed a way to meditate on the Book of Revelation. Some people read Revelation and try to map world history or current events onto what they read. Fr. Rob proposes another meditation of the book. He suggests that we read Revelation as a foretaste of the Heavenly Liturgy that the Saints and angels participate in. Further, in the book, the Risen Christ is aware of the events in his Church. So, we can take courage and peace knowing that Christ knows and is in control of what is happening now. Lastly, yes, the Book of Revelation contains information about the End Times. Fr. Rob proposes that we focus less so on what is happening around us that may signal the End Times. Rather, he suggests we reflect on the mystery that the world will end and all will be fulfilled in Christ with his glory.
