The Advocate – Parakletos (gr.)

“The Advocate, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name—he will teach you everything and remind you of all that I told you.” (JN 14: 26) 

The Holy Spirit, called here the Advocate—Parakletos, is also translated into English as Comforter or Consoler, which better describe His mission:  “he will teach you everything and remind you of all that I told you.” And we know that Our Lord’s teaching was about God’s unconditional love for us. When we are in trouble or when we are under Satan’s attack,losing our hope, the Holy Spirit comes to remind us of God’s love. He comes as our Comforter and Consoler.

“The Holy Spirit will teach you everything and remind you of all I told you.” (Gospel Acclamation)
