Monday of the 6th week of Eastertide
Gospel John 15:26-16:4
“‘When the Advocate comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who issues from the Father, he will be my witness. And you too will be witnesses, because you have been with me from the outset”. From these words of Jesus, we can understand that the truth of incarnation and resurrection is not something we can comprehend and witness without a divine help. This is the Holy Spirit. The third person in the Holy Trinity who is the Spirit of truth as Jesus the second person of the Holy Trinity calls. This Spirit of truth brings out the truth of God’s love for us. All activities of God are manifestation of His love. And the Holy Spirit brings out the truth of this love in all these activities. The same in incarnation too. And now this Spirit of truth is necessary for us to understand the truth of God’s love and to proclaim it. In the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the humanity got prepared to receive this Spirit of truth. Let’s reflect: Easter is understanding that we need the Spirit of truth to understand the truth of God’s love.
