He Will Guide You To All Truth

Christ is speaking of the Holy Spirit when he says the words in today's Gospel "But when he comes, the Spirit of truth, he will guide you to all truth."   As we prepare for Ascension Thursday and for the coming of the great feast of Pentecost, we think of the tremendous gift of the Holy Spirit to our Church and in our lives.  It is the Holy Spirit that helps us to live in the light of Jesus' Resurrection, looking forward in hope, until the day we are with Him, face to face.

It is also the Holy Spirit Who speaks within the fabric of our lives and within our very souls.  The truth that we are guided to is the truth of knowing what is of God and what can take us away from God.  The truth is not always welcome.  Sometimes the truth stings, challenges and calls us to conversion.  Perhaps that is also why Jesus says in todays Gospel that "I have much more to tell you, but you cannot bear it now." (Jn 16:12-15)

I pray today for the grace to desire to live in the truth which the Holy Spirit brings into my life.  I realize that facing this truth may not always be easy, but it is needed.  

Come, Holy Spirit, come!
