Why is it so hard to embrace the Truth? Maybe we, you, me, see the Truth, but don't want to embrace the Truth. Maybe we aren't ready or don't want to change because the Truth requires attention and then change. Think about it. If we looked at just the two main things in our Life that make us screwy, if we embraced the Truth and said, "Damn, that's the Truth" then we would have to change. Whether that is Lifestyle choices (food, drink, exercise), relationship choices, financial choices ... the Truth requires constant attention, change and improvement. Damn that's a lot of work when you think about it. Maybe that's why so many overlook the Truth. Hmmm? The Truth isn't easy. Well perhaps this little prayer will help inspire you to embrace the Truth and take action.

When Spirit tells my spirit the Truth, why don't I believe it and accept it?

"The Truth will set you free." ~Jesus (John 8:32)

I rely and count on Spirit to help me recognize and see the Truth.

For a more enriching experience,
go down on your knees to pray or take it one step further
and prostrate yourself (lay face down) on the floor while praying.

Spirit of Wisdom and Understanding,
enlighten my mind to perceive
the mysteries of the Universe
in relation to eternity.

Spirit of Right Judgment and Courage,
guide me to make firm
in my spiritual decision
to follow Jesus' way of Love.

Spirit of Knowledge and Reverence,
help me to see the lasting value
of justice and mercy
in my everyday dealings with others.

May I respect Life
as I work to solve problems
within my family and nation,
economy and ecology.

Spirit of God,
spark my Faith, Hope and Love
into new action each day.

Fill my Life with Wonder and Awe
in Your Presence, which penetrates
all Creation.

Through Jesus Christ's Most Precious Blood, Most Sacred Name and Most Holy Face, I thank You for this awareness. Amen~

A reading from the Holy Gospel according to John

John 16:12-15

12 "I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.

13 When the Spirit of Truth comes, He will guide you into all the Truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak, and He will declare to you the things that are to come.

14 He will glorify me, for He will take what is mine and declare it to you.

15 All that the Father has is Mine; therefore I said that He will take what is Mine and declare it to you.

The Gospel of the Lord
Praise to You Lord Jesus Christ
