Acts 17:15, 22 - 18:1 / John 16:12-15
Nature teaches us about the many aspects of life.
Nature is like a mother, and that is why we call nature “Mother Nature”.
A mother nurtures her children slowly and helps her children to understand life.
So, our knowledge about life and nature does not come only from books or that we can learn everything at one go.
We learn about life and nature slowly and gradually by what we see and by what we experience.
In the 1st reading, Paul mentioned about how God raised Jesus from the dead.
At this, some of his listeners burst out laughing, while others were interested in knowing more about it, and followed him and became his disciples.
In the gospel, Jesus said that He still has many things to say to His disciples, but they would be too much for them to grasp at that moment.
We too may not understand the mysteries of our faith.
But let us be patient and keep pondering and one day, the Holy Spirit will reveal to us what we need to know.
Then our faith will grow and be strengthened, and we will bear fruits of faith accordingly.
