JESUS
Your
Word, Lord, is my introduction to you.
Who did you say you were?
I am the Way, the Truth
and the Life. I am your way, your truth and your life; your
life is meaningless without me, your truth is a house built
on sand, your way is only a road on a map you have lost. What
do you want of me?
The answers to a million
questions about time and space, but above all, I suppose, the
answer to who I am.
You are mine. Before creation
began, I loved you. I formed you in the womb; I gave you life.
I opened your eyes on this world that through it you might know
me. I gave you beauty and an inner reality that belongs to me
alone; a loveliness that a thousand relationships could not
reach and a million sins could not destroy.
How do I reach you,
Lord?
I've always been here.
I am infinitely greater than a million Milky Ways.
But do not deceive yourself,
the heartbeat of the universe has always been close to your
own heart.
How do I get to know
you, better?
By wanting to.
I do want to, I want
to know you.
There are two interlacing,
concentric circles in your life.
They weave in and out and around you.
One is your relationship to the people with whom your life is
structured
and the other is your relationship to my Word.
I speak to you through the people with whom you live
and I speak to you in Sacred Scripture.
How do I know these
things?
You do not know anything
until you have participated in it.
Enter into my Word.
It will tell you more about me and about yourself.
Also, it will show you how to live
in a way that you can have respect for yourself and every other
living thing;
a life without pretence or pretensions, without fear or shame.
