The Spirit: Another Comforter

"The Holy Spirit, sent by the Father, will be "another Comforter" sent in the name of Christ, whose messianic mission must come to a close with his departure from this world to return to the Father. This departure, which took place through his death and resurrection, was necessary so that "another Comforter" could come. Jesus clearly affirmed this when he said: "If I do not go, the Comforter will not come to you" (Jn 16:7). The Second Vatican Council's Constitution Dei Verbum presents this sending of the "Spirit of truth" as the concluding moment of the revelatory and redemptive process responding to God's eternal plan"

Spirit: Another Comforter: In his weekly catechesis
Pope John Paul II continues the series on the Holy
Spirit, the source of the Church’s consolation. This is
the catechesis which the Pope gave during the
General Audience on 13 March.

The Spirit: Another Comforter
Pope Paul, General Audience March 13, 1991

In his farewell discourse to the apostles during the Last Supper on the night before he died, Jesus promised: "I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Comforter to be with you always" (Jn 14:16). The word "Comforter" here translates the Greek word Parakletos , the name which Jesus gave the Holy Spirit. "Comforter" is one possible meaning of Paraclete. In his discourse in the upper room Jesus suggested this meaning because he promised his disciples the continuing presence of the Spirit as a remedy against the sadness caused by his departure (cf. Jn 16:6-8).

The Holy Spirit, sent by the Father, will be "another Comforter" sent in the name of Christ, whose messianic mission must come to a close with his departure from this world to return to the Father. This departure, which took place through his death and resurrection, was necessary so that "another Comforter" could come. Jesus clearly affirmed this when he said: "If I do not go, the Comforter will not come to you" (Jn 16:7). The Second Vatican Council's Constitution Dei Verbum presents this sending of the "Spirit of truth" as the concluding moment of the revelatory and redemptive process responding to God's eternal plan (cf. n. 4). And all of us, in the sequence of Pentecost, invoke ...: "Come, of comforters the best."...

The Comforter whom Isaiah spoke of, seen from the perspective of prophecy, is the one who brings the Good News from God, confirming it with "signs," that is, with works containing the salutary good of truth, justice, love and liberation", the "consolation of Israel." And when Jesus Christ, after having accomplished his work, left this world to return to the Father, he announced "another Comforter," that is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in his Son's name (cf. Jn 14:26)...

Another "consolation" of the Holy Spirit for the Church was the spread of the Gospel as the text of the new covenant. If the books of the Old Testament, inspired by the Holy Spirit, were already a source of consolation and comfort for the Church, as St. Paul says to the Romans (Rom 15:4), how much more so were the books which related "all that Jesus did and taught from the beginning" (Acts 1:1). Of these we can even more truly say that they were written "for our instruction, that by endurance and by the consolation of the scriptures we might have hope" (Rom 15:4).

Another consolation to be attributed to the Holy Spirit (cf. 1 Pet 1:12) is the fulfillment of Jesus' preaching, that is, that "the Gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the world as a witness to all nations" (Mt 24:14). Among these nations, covering every era, there are also the people of the contemporary world, who seem so distracted and even led astray by success and the attraction of a too one-sided, material progress. To these people too, and to all of us, the work of the Spirit-Paraclete extends, who does not cease giving consolation and comfort with the Good News of salvation.

Pope Benedict XVI "Before his Passover, Jesus announced the sending of "another Paraclete" (Advocate), the Holy Spirit, having previously "spoken through the prophets," the Spirit will now be with and in the disciples, to teach them and guide them "into all truth." ^[68] The Holy Spirit is thus revealed as another divine person with Jesus and the Father."
(68. Gen 1:2; Nicene Creed [DS 150]; Jn 14:17, 26; 16:13.)

Shri Mataji: "I am the one about which Christ has talked."

Shri Jesus promised humankind that He will send the Comforter who will explain all that was taught by Him. In order to do that He had to send someone divine, and backed by irrefutable proof for all humankind to examine.

The Comforter Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

The Comforter Shri Mataji “Normally I don’t tell about Myself but today he exposed me. As soon as I came I had to tell because it’s not tactful. It’s not tactful to say anything. It’s better that you discover Me than I tell you because Christ was crucified, everybody was tortured. I do not want to hamper My work because it makes no difference by telling you anything before Realization. It’s better to tell you after Realization that I am the Holy Ghost–no doubt. I am the one about which Christ has talked.

I have told them. I had never said this on from a platform and I told. They have been telling Me, “Mother, You must say that once.” I said, "In America I’ll declare it.” So today I declare that I am the Holy Ghost. I am the Holy Spirit who has incarnated on this Earth for your realization.”

Shri Mataji, New York, USA 30 September 1980

"Christ didn't say that, "I am the Destination." He said, "I'll send you the Holy Ghost; I'll send you a Comforter; I'll send you a Redeemer; I'll send you a Councilor." He talked about the future."

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

Shri Mataji, who took Her birth in a Christian family, directs all humans to find Jesus' mystical Kingdom of God within. Her Knowledge is that of the Spirit within and how to attain it. The essence of Her Message is exactly that of Shri Christ: Seek the sanctuary of the Kingdom of God within for "without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever love and makes a lie."

Since opening the Sahasrara Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi in 1970 has worked tirelessly preaching the Message of Jesus to all — Hindus, Muslims, Jews, Buddhist, Taoist, Christians, Sikhs. For the last three decades She has:

1. glorified Jesus to all humans, irrespective of race, religion or creed — "will glorify me" (John 16.14).

2. borne witness that Shri Jesus must be accepted and there is no salvation without Him — "will bear witness to me" (John 15.26).

3. has warned that He will be incarnating as Shri Kalki during the second Coming — "will convince the world concerning sin because they do not believe in me" (John 16. 8-9).

4. has enlightened the seekers of the deep esoteric parables of Jesus and the mystic Kingdom of God — "will take what is mine and declare it to you" (John 16.14).

5. has awakened humanity to the true teachings of Jesus, teachings that are still beyond their present comprehension — "will bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you" (John 14.26).

Shri Jesus Christ promised that He would ask God Almighty to send a future Comforter whose primary duty would be to "make all mysteries known—The mysteries of the soul, of life, of death, of immortality, the oneness of man with every other man, and with his God." That is precisely what Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi has done. Shri Adi Shakti: The Kingdom Of God records overwhelming, unassailable evidence that She is that Comforter sent to explain all mysteries, and lead the believers during the Resurrection "before the great day of the Lord shall come" (Second Coming).

All i can say is that we are all verily worshipping and meditating on the same God Almighty and His Holy Spirit/Shakti/Ruh within. Just like the Adi Shakti, Jesus Christ too is entrenched in the Holy Scriptures of Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam. It is only with the advent of the Adi Shakti that we have found out how humans have corrupted the religions over the centuries. So enter in through the Gates of the City (Kingdom of God) within yourself to seek and meditate on God and His Spirit for without are dogs, sorcerers, whoremongers, murderers, idolaters, and whosoever love and makes a lie. In others words, there is no hope of salvation in the corrupted churches, mosques, synagogues, temples and gurdwaras. Amen.

regards to all,
