Wed 6th Week of Easter Homily

1st Reading: Acts 17:15,22-18:1
Responsorial Psalm: Ps 148:1-2,11-14
Gospel: Jn 16:12-15

We live in a world that is afraid of truth. People want to claim that there is no truth and that everything goes as long as you respect their own desires and pleasures. In this disordered world it can be hard to represent the truth that never changes no matter how upset people may get over it.
In this world we have many mixed messages that are continuously coming to us and it can be hard to decipher what is really the truth. In the era of the internet, blogs exist which represent the truth as the author sees it. Through the use of blogs anyone can write whatever they want for the world to see no matter if it orients to far to the left or the right. These mixed messages can confuse us greatly when we are in search of the truth and can lead us astray in our understanding of the faith that we confess.
Thankfully the Spirit of Truth dwells within the Church. No matter how much the Church has been rocked by the media for the sex scandal we can still trust inside of the Church that was begun by Christ. The Holy Spirit dwells within the Church to this day and it can always be trusted in leading us towards the truth. Thanks to the Holy Spirit we know that the Church's teachings can always be trusted because they have not been placed here by man and his desire to make himself comfortable. Therefore my brothers and sisters in Christ may we trust in the authority of the Holy Spirit as we live out our faith. May we allow the Holy Spirit to come and dwell with us, so that we may be strengthened in bringing the truth of the Gospel to the world.
