Jesus prayed for his disciples at the Last Supper as he prepared to send them into the world as he himself had been sent by his Father. "I consecrate myself for them, so that they also may be consecrated in truth." (Jn 17: 19). As schools graduate their students over these next weeks, how appropriate a prayer this is for them: to renew our decication to them and to set them off on the path of truth, that they may remain faithful to it and make it the pursuit of their lives. "What is truth?" asked Pilate. (Jn 18:38). There is so much murkiness and deception accepted as "truth" today, that the young, even the old can be led astray. Happily, the young are searching for the real Truth, recognizing that all that they have been taught through the media and the entertainment world has not been truth. Ultimately, through experience, study, reflection and the example of the guardians of truth, they will come to a deeper knowledge of it and discover that the Truth that makes them free (Jn 8: 32) is God himself. May we all be earnest seekers of the Truth and conscecrate our lives to Truth.
