Pointedly, Jesus said to the Jews (and us) who believed in him, "If you remain in my word, you will truly be my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." (Jn 8:31). It's so easy these days to find the truth, so muddled is our thinking with political and prejudiced opinions, true and fake being served to us daily. What is truth in a world so full of lies? How do we discern the truth? Remain in the Word...in Jesus, in his teachings...Immerse oneself in the Scriptures...learn from reliable teachers such as Bishop Robert Barron or Matthew Kelly whose excellent talks find themselves at our fingertips on line or in books. Check out Word on Fire and Dynamic Catholic, St. Augustine Institute, Twenty-Third Publications, Ignatius Press...Pray, as with Father Paul Kollman, CSC :
Jesus, you promised that
the truth would set us free. Draw us into the mystery of your love for
us, a love that frees us from the lies that keep us bound in sin and
self-deception. May we embrace the new life that comes from Baptism and
live in the freedom of the children of God. Amen.Bro Rene
