.
REFLECTION…
.
Jesus is the Way to the Father
.
…through what He teaches;
.
…through faith, which He inspires;
.
…through His example;
.
…through His grace;
.
…and, above all, He is the Way because He reveals the Father,
with whom He is one because of His divine nature.
.
Jesus, the Son of God, is the Truth
because by coming to this world
He shows that God is faithful to His promises to those who do His will,
and because He teaches the truth about who God is.
.
Jesus is Life
because from all eternity He has divine life with His Father,
and because it is through Him
that we become sharers in that divine life.

QUOTE…
.
"[By His reply, Jesus] is, as it were, saying,
‘By which route do you want to go? I am the Way.
To where do you want to go? I am the Truth.
Where do you want to remain? I am the Life.’
Every man can attain an understanding
of the Truth and the Life;
but not all find the Way.”
.
– St. Augustine
