Homily for Wednesday of the 6th Week in Ordinary Time

Learning life's profound truths is a gradual process. Faith, too, is not an instant revelation but a journey that unfolds over time. In today's Gospel, Jesus acknowledges that He wants to share many things. Still, the disciples are not yet prepared to receive them.

The Paraclete, the Spirit of Truth, who will be sent to them in the future, will reveal these things and lead them towards the complete truth. The Holy Spirit, our divine guide, will lead us to the complete truth about Jesus, His Father, our world, and ourselves. 

This is a life-long journey that requires humility. We will never attain the complete truth in this life. We are always on the way. We can never honestly say, "I know it all." Instead, we must always leave ourselves open to being led by the Spirit more closely towards the complete truth, towards the One who said of Himself, "I am the truth."
