You being a skilled writer I can appreciate you getting thrown by end of todays Gospel “do not prepare what you are to say ahead of time”.
I think we most of us like to be prepared for anything that might pass our way. Most of the time I don’t like surprises, I’m guessing most of us do not like surprises. Unless, it’s a pleasant surprise.

Thanks for reminding us to trust the Holy Spirit to be our defense at all times. He never fails.
God bless.

A Catholic speaker (sorry forgot her name) suggests this prayer for the right words:

Come Holy Spirit
Come Now
Come as You Wish

A reminder to have faith in the Spirit and not in our own understanding. Another way to remain humble. Happy Thanksgiving!

Your reflection cleared up a lot of confusion in my brain about that passage. Makes so much sense…. Listen with our heart and allow Jesus to answer before we show our own words.

Both of these examples, grace and words, given at the appropriate time by the Father, Son, and/or Holy Spirit, should give us so much confidence and security, that we need only to step out in faith at the appointed time, and the rest shall be taken care of. It surely takes the fear of such situations!
