Do Not Quench the Spirit

Fr Michael Payyapilly VC reflects on what it means to quench the Holy Spirit. When the self becomes the centre, our own voice can become louder than the Spirit, moral boundaries shift around what satisfies us, and what appears to be freedom can become slavery. The Spirit calls us instead to die to self, receive the truth of Christ, allow ourselves to be moulded and become people prepared for eternal life.
