So what does it mean to accept the Advocate,
the spirit of truth? … We, too, are called to expand Jesus’ mission like Philip
did in Samaria. We’re called to walk
into new territories, brave challenging situations and accompany those who may
be different from us. But we do not do
this alone: we have been given the gift
of the Spirit, accompanying us and advocating for us in our mission. So how can
our voices, then, be a gift for others?
The spirit of truth demands that we stand
in solidarity with those who are marginalized, persecuted, and forgotten and
advocate on their behalf. The spirit of
truth demands bravery and boldness in the pursuit of justice. The spirit of truth is very much alive in the
margins of society, and in the messiness of our lives, demanding that no one be
orphaned.
