Sixth Wednesday of Easter

“But when he comes, the Spirit of truth, he will guide you to all truth. He will not speak on his own, but he will speak what he hears, and will declare to you the things that are coming.”

The Spirit of Truth is with us, just as Jesus is with us, and the Father who sent them. Together they are the Holy Trinity, three persons with their own distinct divine missions, but one God forever and ever. The mission of the Holy Spirit is to guide us to the truth along our faith journeys and help prepare us for the Second Coming of Christ and the Final Judgment. He gives us all the knowledge and understanding we need to do the Father’s Will and to live our lives in accord with the model of Jesus. We should take heed of the Holy Spirit’s inspirations and find ways to constantly manifest the truth He reveals to us to our fellow man.

Are we actively seeking the truth? Are we preparing ourselves for the things that will come? How do we acknowledge the Holy Spirit in our lives?

O Lord, guide us to the truth through your Holy Spirit.

Amen.
