Acts 17:15, 22 - 18:1 / John 16:12-15
The past has happened and it is history.
Though we already know what happened, yet there are so many details of people, occasions and happenings that it is impossible to know all that actually happened.
If the past is history, then the future is mystery.
And as much as it might cross our mind to want to know the future, yet it would be too much of a burden.
To know the future is to know the details of every person that is connected to an occasion and how one incident is connected to another.
That will be too much for a human mind to follow.
So whether past or future, it is just too much for us as humans to handle.
Only God, who is the beginning and the end, can handle everything that happens in every instance of time.
We can only handle moments, and even that is already worrisome and anxious enough.
Jesus says in the gospel that the Holy Spirit will lead us to the complete truth.
Let us live life moment by moment and slowly be filled with the truth of life.
And may the truth of life lead us to a deeper love so that we will live each moment of life with love.
