Born of the Spirit

“‘You must be born from above.’ The wind blows where it wills, and you can hear the sound it makes, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes; so it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.” (JN 3: 7-8)

Our calling from God is like the wind: “blows where it wills… but you do not know where it comes from or it goes; so it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.” Who knows where we will be in five years from now, if we follow the Holy Spirit. We had no idea five years ago or even one year ago where we would be today.

We know how much one meeting or one conversation has changed our lives. So the same could happen with lives of many of those who we will meet. When we open our hearts to the Holy Spirit and allow Him to take care of us and our lives, we will not know “where it comes from or where it goes,” but for sure we will love people more, and because of this love, we will be able to change their lives. Every meeting with another person is a gift from God, and you are a gift from God to every other person. When we pray and when we are “born from above,” we can change this world and establish a civilization of love and life in our environment.

“The Son of Man must be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.” (Gospel Acclamation)
