Windhoek, 27 May, 2022 / 8:57 pm (ACI Africa).
There is need to involve the Holy Spirit in every decision in today’s “world of expertise” in order to avoid making unnecessary mistakes, a Catholic Priest in Namibia’s Catholic Archdiocese of Windhoek has said.
In his homily for the Sixth Sunday of Easter published on YouTube on May 21 by Namibia’s center of formation for future Priests, St. Charles Lwanga Major Seminary, Fr. Benny Karuvelil said that the Holy Spirit exists to guide human beings especially at the time when serious decisions are to be made.
“Today’s world is the world of expertise; we want experts in every field; we want committees; we want discussions and decisions… But hardly we turn to the Holy Spirit and ask him for help; that's why many times things go wrong,” Fr. Karuvelil said.
The Indian-born member of the Carmelites of Mary Immaculate (CMI) said that the Holy Spirit guides the people of God, and that every person needs to seek His guidance and invoke Him for help.
Fr. Karuvelil who serves as the Secretary General of the Namibia Catholic Bishops’ Conference (NCBC) said that those who have involved the Holy Spirit in the past in decision making have experienced changes in their lives due to various suggestions as provided by the third person of the Holy Trinity.
