Receive the Breath of God | John 20:19-23 by Fr. Michael Sparough, SJ | Season of Joy

Fr. Michael leads us in one final guided meditation, praying for the Holy Spirit to come into our hearts, our minds, and our whole selves. John 20:19-23 On the evening of that first day of the week, when the doors were locked where the disciples were, out of fear, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, “Peace be with you.” When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” And when He had said this, He breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained.” Learn More Heart to Heart, a Catholic Media Ministry: htoh.us [https://htoh.us] 420 W County Line Rd, Suite 200 Barrington, IL 60010 Submit a prayer request: htoh.us/prayers [https://htoh.us/prayers] Support our ministry with a financial gift: htoh.us/donate [https://htoh.us/donate]

In her final meditation, Crystal reflects on Psalm 23 line by line, showing how this beloved psalm offers a roadmap for deepening and strengthening that God bond, inviting us to open our hearts "just a little more" to God's love.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,     I will fear no evil,  for you are with me;     your rod and your staff,     they comfort me.
