Homily for Wednesday of the 6th Week of Easter

Learning life’s profound truths is a gradual process. Faith is not an instant revelation; rather, it is a journey that unfolds over time. In today’s Gospel, Jesus acknowledges He has many things He wants to share, but the disciples are not yet ready to receive them.

The Paraclete, the Spirit of Truth, will be sent to them in the future to reveal these truths and guide them toward complete understanding. The Holy Spirit, our divine guide, will lead us to a deeper understanding of Jesus, His Father, our world, and ourselves.

This journey is lifelong and requires humility. We will never attain complete truth in this life; we are always in the process of learning. We can never honestly say, “I know it all.” Instead, we must remain open to being guided by the Spirit as we move closer to the complete truth — towards the One who proclaimed, “I am the truth.”
