This is the Spirit of Truth

Haiku of promise

Spirit, advocate,

mystery God at our side;

within and without.

Spirit of truth who

abides in each open heart;

gift from the Father.

Spirit of Jesus;

among us, unseen presence,

sharing risen life.

Divine indwelling;

the Son in the Father,

the Spirit in us.

It's all about love;

thus the Spirit recalls us

to Jesus' commands.

You who follow me

will prove it, Jesus told them.

Love will be the sign.

I will be with you,

I will show myself to you;

we will dwell in love.
