Wednesday of the Sixth Week of Easter
JN 16:12-15
Jesus
said to his disciples, “I still have many things to say to you, but you
cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you
into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own, but will speak
whatever he hears, and he will declare to you the things that are to
come.
“He will glorify me, because he will take what is mine
and declare it to you. All that the Father has is mine. For this reason I
said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.”

“I still have many things to say to you but you cannot bear them now.”
For any parent who has delivered a child to the college where he or she
will be spending the next four years, these words describe those
deepest of feelings as the time of departure approaches.
Each
child has their own level of maturity, expectations, trepidation,
excitement, and faith as they ponder what lies ahead. The same can be
said of the parent’s feelings as they leave one phase of life marked by
closeness with children, and anticipate what the next phase has in
store.
When the time arrives to depart there are tears, hugs,
words of love, and usually: “Don’t forget to call, or email, or text, or
post to Facebook so we can keep in touch.”
I remember
departing from dropping both our son and daughter off at college for the
first time. The moment was so bittersweet. Seeing each loved child push
off from shore towards a new destination was something I had known was
coming since their grade school days, but when the moment finally came I
was totally unprepared for the reality. Driving away, with my wife
rapidly depleting a box of Kleenex, I was trying to be the strong Dad as
I pushed away my own tears.
Jesus speaks of the “Spirit of
truth” in this Gospel, and I hoped and prayed for this same Spirit to
come and guide each of our children to all the truths that we, as
parents, tried to transmit and share.
I had a flashback to my
own time as a freshman at Notre Dame when my parents left me in Farley
Hall with a new group of friends and fellow classmates in the class of
1963. I remember feeling the Spirit of truth direct me as I assimilated
into life at Notre Dame. I still feel the Spirit of truth nudging me and
encouraging me each day.
The Spirit is always nearby and
ready to show the way of truth in our lives. That same Spirit showered
God’s generous love upon the lives of each of our children as they
completed college, started careers, and strengthened their spirituality.
The Spirit is true to Jesus’ promises, and will guide all who seek truth.

Prayer
Father Thomas C. Bertone, CSC
Loving
God, Christ promised his disciples the gift of the Spirit who would
guide them to all truth. In these often confusing and difficult times,
many “truths” are spoken. Open us up to the gifts of your Spirit to be
able to discern your truth so that we may more faithfully speak it to
others and embrace it more fully in our own lives. We ask this through
Christ our Lord. Amen.
