"Pero kon mag-abot na ang Espiritu Santo nga amo ang manugtudlo sang kamatuoran, tudluan niya kamo sang tanan nga kamatuoran"

Ebanghelyo subong nga Adlaw (Juan 16:12-15)

"May madamo pa kuntani ako nga inugsugid sa inyo, ugaling indi pa kamo makaintiendi sini.

Pero kon mag-abot na ang Espiritu Santo nga amo ang manugtudlo sang kamatuoran, tudluan niya kamo sang tanan nga kamatuoran. Ang mga butang nga iya itudlo sa inyo indi halin sa iya, kundi kon ano ang iya nabatian amo ina ang iya isugid sa inyo. Isugid man niya sa inyo kon ano ang magakalatabo sa palaabuton.

Padunggan niya ako tungod kay ipaintiendi niya sa inyo ang akon mga ginpanudlo kag ginpanghimo.

Kay kon ano ang ginapanudlo sang Amay amo man ang sa akon. Amo ina nga nagsiling ako nga ang akon mga ginpanudlo ipaintiendi niya sa inyo."

Prayers:

"Lord Jesus, fill me with your Holy Spirit and guide me in your way of life and truth. Free me from ignorance of your ways, and from deception caused by sinful pride and rebellion. May I love you wholly with all of my strength, mind, and will and seek to please you in all things."

Reflection of the Daily Gospel:

What would you give to know all truth! Truth, however, is not something we create nor is it our discovery. It is the gift of God who is the possessor and the giver of all truth. Jesus tells his disciples that it is the role of the Holy Spirit to reveal what is true. How can this be? Skeptics of truth don't want to believe in an absolute Truth. If truth is objective then it must be submitted to as authoritative. Some fear the truth because they think it will inhibit their freedom to act and think as they wish. Jesus told his disciples that the truth will set you free (John 8:32). The truth liberates us from doubts, illusions, and fears. Since God is the source of all truth, then the closer we draw to him and listen to his word, the more we grow in the knowledge of him and of his great love and wisdom for us.

Jesus told his disciples that he would send them the Spirit of truth who will guide you into all the truth ..and declare to you the things that are to come (John 16:13). Through the gift and working of the Holy Spirit poured out on the new community of faith on the day of Pentecost, we too are able to profess the same creed which the apostles proclaimed – that Jesus died, and was buried, and rose again on the third day, and will come again to judge, raise the dead, and give everlasting life (the Apostles Creed). We not only have the same faith given to the apostles and early believers, but we have the same Spirit in us who raised Jesus from the dead. The Lord Jesus gives each of us his Holy Spirit as our divine Teacher and Helper that we may grow in the knowledge and wisdom of God. Do you listen attentively to God's word and allow his Holy Spirit to give you understanding of God's truth and will for your life?
