The gift of the Holy Spirit

Gospel           John 7.37–39

 Hear the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John.

All           Glory to you, O Lord.      

37 On the last day of the festival, the great day, while Jesus was standing there, he cried out, ‘Let anyone who is thirsty come to me, 38and let the one who believes in me drink. As the scripture has said, “Out of the believer’s heart shall flow rivers of living water.” ’ 39Now he said this about the Spirit, which believers in him were to receive; for as yet there was no Spirit, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

This is the Gospel of the Lord.

All           Praise to you, O Christ.
