Just for Today, March 30

Follow me: I am the way, and the truth, and the life (John xiv, 6). Without the Way, there is no going; without the Truth, there is no knowing; without the Life, there is no living.

I am the Way which thou must follow; the Truth which thou must believe; the Life which thou must hope for.

-Bk. III, ch. lvi.

In the Gospel of St John Our Lord utters this sub lime prayer: Sanctify them in truth. Thy word is truth (John xvii, 17). Again, He teaches us that He is the way, and the truth, and the life (ibid. xiv, 6). We know well what that word is that we must keep; we cannot ask like Pilate: What is truth (ibid. xviii, 38)? Jesus dwells in our hearts, and so we possess the Truth.

-Letters.
