Remembering All He Said

Jesus taught the disciples many things, by word and example.  This means not only in His parables and miracles, but by His passion, death, and resurrection.  He also taught them this: “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.” (John 14:26)

Thank goodness Jesus promises to help them remember, and own up to, everything!  In my own life, I value all that I was catechized in, during my growing up years.  I am now able to grasp things so much better when I study these things at a more advanced level in books and CDs, and be a more confident leader at youth group.  This learning is an ongoing process, but the Holy Spirit has also been there to inspire me to have a relationship with this historical but also ever-present Person: Jesus Christ.  I can trust in His Divine Mercy and know why I’m praying the Chaplet’s prayers, because of its ongoing stories of grace in church history.  This is only one example of how alive this truth of Jesus is, and continues to be this day.  It shows me how I can lead a Christ-like life and be a more authentic disciple too.
