As Jesus prepared his disciples for his departure, he promised ask the Father to send them another Counselor, the Spirit of Truth, who would be with them forever. ( cf. Jn 14: 15). This Spirit will be in them and keep them connected to Jesus. It is this Spirit of Truth who will enable them to deal with disappointments, with challenges, and obstacles from within and without that would hinder them from loving fully. It is this Spirit of Truth that will give them courage to go to distant lands to spread his good news of salvation. It is this Spirit of Truth which is enabling Pope Francis to take bold steps to bring peace to the Middle East by inviting Israeli and Palestinian leaders to the Vatican to discuss their differences and goals. Pope Francis is making the news with his forthrightness, sincerity and firm stand on the current "unacceptable situation."
This Spirit of Truth was given to all of us at baptism, may we like the Pope, allow Him to make bold moves to bring peace to our families and communities.
