FAMILY FAITH SHARING QUESTIONS May 15th – Pentecost – John 20:19-23 (Year C)

In this Sunday’s Gospel passage, we hear that the disciples are all together in one room, the doors locked, and they are afraid. Jesus comes and stands in the room with them. “Peace be with you.” He breathes on them and says, “Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained.” The disciples are not afraid and go outside with Jesus. Can you call on this gift of the Holy Spirit when you need strength in your life? How? What times in your life could you have asked for strength and didn’t?
