Truth

Monday, November 22, 2021

Pilate asked him, “So you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice." John 18:37

This was the Gospel from the Solemnity of Christ the King!

The Gospel verse continues,

Pilate asked him, "What is truth?" John 18:38

Jesus is the Truth.

He is Christ the King.

Pilate finds Jesus not guilty but fails to protect the truth.

"What is against Truth cannot be just." St. Augustine

Truth can not be adapted.

There is a desire in each of our hearts to know the truth.

The truth that God loves us.

"Do not accept anything as love which lacks truth." St. Edith Stein

The devil, is the king of lies and he will try to make us doubt the truth.

When Christ rules in our hearts, there is no question about what is true or false.

God sends His Holy Spirit to guide us and to become followers of the Truth.

That every human person, from natural conception to natural death, is loved and sacred.

Christ our King, you are the Way, the Truth and the Life,

Help all of us to protect the sanctity of the Truth.

Help us to protect the sanctity of each other and of the unborn.

We ask this and surrender our hearts to listen to your voice and to follow the Truth.

"She placed herself in the truth. She knew where the truth lays and she knew that following Jesus and the Church would require some struggle." Bl. Chiara Badano
