A Neighbor to my Enemy    In Luke 10:25-37, a scholar of the law tested Jesus and said, “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” (Luke 10:25) Jesus answered, “What is written in the law?” The scribe said, “You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your being, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” (Dt 6:5, Lv 19:18) Jesus told him that he answered correctly, but…

Come Holy Spirit Many Christians do not realize it, but FAITH begins with Holy Spirit. St. Paul wrote to the early Church in Corinth: “No one can say, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ except by the Holy Spirit.” (1 Cor 12:3) St. Irenaeus, who was bishop of Lyons in 130-202 AD, taught that “it is impossible to see God’s Son without the Spirit, and no one can approach the Father without the Son, for the knowledge of the Father is the Son,…
