On Not Preaching (Con't)

Today, 1st Tuesday of the month, is the one monthly Mass which I have decided consistently not to preach, but rather to give the people five minutes silent meditation time after the gospel: and I am very glad that today I did not preach for the epistle message was about the unicity of the Spirit of God: the unique searcher, instructor, and counselor of every man! (1 Corinthians 10b-16)

For the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
For what man knoweth the things of a man, but the spirit of a man that is in him? So the things also that are of God no man knoweth, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received not the spirit of this world, but the Spirit that is of God; that we may know the things that are given us from God. Which things also we speak, not in the learned words of human wisdom; but in the doctrine of the Spirit, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the sensual man perceiveth not these things that are of the Spirit of God; for it is foolishness to him, and he cannot understand, because it is spiritually examined. But the spiritual man judgeth all things; and he himself is judged of no man.
For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that we may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
