Prv 8: 22-31
Ps 8: 4-9
Rom 5: 1-5
Jn 16: 12-15
Jesus promises the disciples that the Spirit of truth will come who will guide them to all truth. Our temptation might be to want it all now or to assume that we already have all truth. We live in the promise, opening ourselves to the truth. We will come to truth in God. We do not possess truth, but rather will come to be possessed by truth.
The truth of God is a relational truth. Our experience of God is the loving relationship of the Father, with the Son, in the Spirit. The relationship expressed in the Trinity is one of harmony and peace. This inter-relatedness can encompass us.
When we trust in this gift of peace we can begin to live with greater and greater hope. One result of this Spirit-induced hope will be an increase in our awareness and appreciation and participation in the delights of creation.
