Lectio - Jn 16.12-15

Meditatio: “But when he comes, then the Spirit of truth will guide you to all truth.”
Jn 16.13a

Oratio: "O God, You know how foible and dull we are - yet You did not leave us unaided.

I remember Jesus proclaimed that the Spirit of truth would be sent to us to guide us to You - the source of all truth.

Grant that I may be open to the promptings of the Spirit, and expect it and act upon it and He will guide me to You.

I ask this of You, who lives and reigns with Jesus and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever. Amen.”

I ask this of You, who lives and reigns with Jesus and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever. Amen.”
