“All who are on the side of the Truth Listen to my voice”. John 18,37
Whoever lets himself be led by what is true will be drawn into communion with Christ, will hear and heed God’s ceaseless invitations to follow him more closely.
But being led by truth requires humility.
- It requires recognizing a higher authority than oneself: if I am obliged to discover, accept, and conform to what is objectively true (morally, physically, historically), then I am not autonomous, I am not the master of my universe, I am not God.
- Making that act of humility, which frees us from the enervating bonds of selfishness, is hard because our fallen human nature tends towards pride, towards self-sufficiency, control, and dominance.
- To resist that tendency, we need to obey the truth, and to expose ourselves to the burning love of God. It takes courage.
Courageous, humble acceptance of God’s truth, of the truth that God is love – that’s the only way to follow our eternal King, and to experience the fulfilment that comes from being a faithful citizen of his everlasting Kingdom.
ADVENT CHALLENGE FOR MEN
All the men of St Antony’s Parish are invited to come together this Advent and help each other to live this time of preparation in prayer, asceticism and fraternity, so that we can celebrate the Incarnation of our Lord, on Christmas day, as spiritually renewed men.
There will be an online introductory meeting on 28th November at 7pm.
