The Truth
The Truth is immense, unique, simple and also infinitely nuanced, infinitely rich, infinitely near and infinitely far. Man's soul as a sensitive and ethereal resonator, receives the numerous vibrations of infinite Truth which goes beyond all particular knowledge. Vibrations of eternal Truth reach the soul, coming from the unfathomable depths of the Real, of the Eternal Heart of God.
To penetrate the mystery of the life and meaning of the Saints, we must enter the immensity of truth and understand the impossibility of "owning it". Through this nostalgia for truth, we shall encounter the Saints, because the greatest truth man can obtain after the revelation of Christ is the love of truth itself. Love of truth to the point of supreme sacrifice is the major Truth which the Lord gave us.
Who knows the Father? Only the Son and he to whom the Son wishes to reveal Him. The truth is an ocean, an abyss; in order to know it one must plunge into it. It is not a list of concepts. The truth of the Most Holy Trinity is not to be able to say: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, but it is to love that mysterious reality to the point of death. We are sometimes capable of dying for human beings We must be ready to offer ourselves for the truth. That does not mean shouting from the rooftops, raising our voice, it means loving this mysterious, inconceivable God, loving Him as a very precise reality, either in silence or in preaching.
The truth can only be grasped by one who embraces Christ in his heart. Now when someone desires to establish himself on the truth, to fill his heart with what is ca]led truth, it is with the Blood of Christ, with the gaze of Christ and the love of Christ, He who is Truth and Love itself, that he must be filled. And therefore, the truth can only be taught, transmitted or defended by means of Christ himself, in imitation of him.
