37 On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. 38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” 39 But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me. However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. (Romans 8:9) But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. (Galatians 5:18) For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. (Galatians 5:22) And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another in the fear of God. I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. (Ephesians 5:8-10) The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together. Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma. (Ephesians 5:1-2) In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory. that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. (Galatians 5:25) By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. (Romans 5:5) Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s. (1 Corinthians 6:19-20) But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. (1 Corinthians 2:10-12) But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. For “who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ. (1 Corinthians 2:14-16)

Danas Crkva slavi zaključak najuzvišenijeg razdoblja u liturgijskoj godini. Crkva se raduje jer nas Krist, uzašavši na nebo, ne ostavlja same, već ostaje s nama po svome Duhu. U ono vrijeme: Reče Isus svojim učenicima: »Kada dođe Branitelj koga ću vam poslati od Oca - Duh Istine koji od Oca izlazi - on će svjedočiti za mene. I vi ćete svjedočiti jer ste od početka sa mnom. Još vam mnogo imam kazati, ali sada ne možete nositi. No kada dođe on - Duh Istine -upućivat će vas u svu istinu; jer neće govoriti sam od sebe, nego će govoriti što čuje i navješćivat će vam ono što dolazi. On će mene proslavljati jer će od mojega uzimati i navješćivati vama. Sve što ima Otac, moje je. Zbog toga vam rekoh: od mojega uzima i - navješćivat će vama.« Prva asocijacija prosječnog (praktičnog) katolika pri spomenu svetkovine Duhova vjerojatno je scena silaska Duha Svetoga u liku plamenih jezika. Zanimljivo je primijetiti kako se u toj epizodi spominje Duh Sveti, a svetkovinu običavamo nazivati Duhovi. Međutim, ovaj put bih pažnju želio, prije svega, posvetiti tekstu Evanđelja. Tekst iz Djela je zaogrnut fantastičnim ruhom i čini mi se da je nerijetko zloupotrebljavan u raznoraznim kontekstima, stoga smatram da bi riječi koje pisac Četvrtog Evanđelja stavlja u Isusova usta trebale biti normativne i za promatranje događaja silaska Duha. Što nam kaže Evanđelje? Duha šalje Krist po svojoj proslavi. Ograničen zemaljski boravak Spasitelja među ljudima svoj produžetak ima u djelovanju Duha Istine. Danas Crkva slavi zaključak najuzvišenijeg razdoblja u liturgijskoj godini. Proslavivši prije nekoliko dana Uzašašće, mi se sada radujemo što nas Isus ne ostavlja same, nego ostaje s nama po svome Duhu. Jer Duh Sveti, Duh je Isusa Krista prisutnog među njegovima. Po Duhu kršćani nastavljaju Kristovo djelo u svijetu. On je snaga Istine koja ljude privodi Bogu Ocu. Onoliko koliko se na kršćanima vidi: ljubav, radost, mir, velikodušnost, uslužnost, dobrota, vjernost, blagost, uzdržljivost i tomu slično, toliko smo otvoreni Duhu i toliko smo znak prisutnosti Krista. Ukoliko bi kršćani ovako djelovali na svijet, ne bi im bilo ni potrebno mnogo riječi nepoznatih jezika, ni plamenovi ponad glava, u krajnjoj liniji ni kršćanstvo kao religija ne bi bilo potrebno, jer Isus Krist bi prebivao među ljudima kao njihov prijatelj i brat. Otvorimo se Svetom Duhu kako bismo mogli uistinu upućivati svijet na Boga Oca, jer bez Duha ne možemo istinski nasljedovati Isusa Krista na njegovu putu k Ocu.
