"But when he comes, the Spirit of truth, he will guide you to all truth......and will declare to you the things that are coming." (John 16: 13).
The Spirit of Jesus will guide us to all truth. All truth pertaining to salvation. Let us consider for a moment some of these awesome and mysterious truths that Jesus Christ revealed during His ministry:
+ The Trinity
+ The Holy Spirit
+ Sacraments
+ The Cross
+ The Church
+ Mystery of Mary
The Holy Spirit has led the Church to all these truths. Most of the Church Councils in the past 2000 years have produced dogmatic definitions on these truths. The teachings are constant and unalterable.
The Holy Spirit "will declare to you the things that are coming." (John 16: 13). What constitutes this revelation? One thing that comes to mind is the appearance of the Man of Lawlessness, sometimes called the Anti-Christ. He is a prince in the Kingdom of the Father of lies. (Cf 2 Thessalonians 2: 1 - 12). Through the spirit of discernment, the Church will be able to grasp the Signs of the Times and expose him.
"Graciously be present to your people, we pray, O Lord,
and lead those you have imbued with heavenly mysteries
to pass from former ways to newness of life.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen." (Prayer after Communion).
