In the Book of Numbers, we read of how God took some of the spirit that was on Moses and bestowed it to 70 of the elders (Nm 11:26). Foreshadowed in this scene is the reality that the Holy Spirit that came upon Jesus at the Jordan, would be bestowed upon His body, the Church. We consider both life in the Holy Spirit and the gift of charisms that God gives with the outpouring of the Spirit.

Speaking into the heart of apostles after they were quarreling over who was the greatest (Mk 9:33-37), Jesus imparts to His apostles (and us as well) a beautiful teaching that, when received, releases the grace to live with wisdom and humility...

Making his first visit to Most Holy Trinity in Corktown, and not aware of the prayer for healing that takes place on Sunday nights at MHT, Thomas was surprised by the sovereign kindness of Jesus who healed his left ear issues (fuzziness, ringing, lack of clear hearing) and also a marble sized swollen lymph node in the neck. Here's his awesome testimony, Praise you Jesus!

Down at Most Holy Trinity in Corktown, passing through with her husband, God's beloved daughter Connie received a blessing from Jesus in the healing of her back, here's her testimony for His glory, praise you Jesus!

In Mark 8:34 we read that Jesus summoned the crowd with his disciples and said, "whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me." Denying ourselves means letting Jesus be the king of our heart, the Lord of our life, which leads to abundant life....

Like "streams bursting forth" (Is 35), devotion to the Lord's presence changes everything as His love POURS in to each situation...

As Moses, under divine inspiration taught the Israelites that fidelity to God's commandments would lead to fruitful living in God's presence (Dt 4), so it is today with disciples of Jesus living in the New and Eternal Covenant. At the heart of the Catholic Religion is found a passionate embrace, full of loving devotion, to God who has embraced us.

At the climactic point of the Bread of Life discourse, Jesus declares, "my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink." (Jn 6:55) In the gift of the Eucharist, Jesus meets us with an overwhelming loving kindness that is life-changing.

The delightful testimony of Kevin, who after having a neck problem for 4 years following a fall was surprised by Jesus with a spontaneous breakthrough healing at the end of mass one evening.

Turning away from perfect love. A fair description of the essence of St. Paul's famous and sobering words, "do not grieve the Holy Spirit with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption" (Eph 4:30) We consider some of the deceptions the enemy uses to get us to turn away from perfect love, the Holy Spirit within us, and two effective methods for staying engaged with the Holy Spirit.
