ST ANTHONY MARY CLARET, BISHOP
OF THE DAY

Eph 4-1-6
Ps 24: 1-6
Lk 12: 54-59

The method "way, truth and life" is based on this basic principle: man must adhere to God completely, that is, with all his principal faculties: will, intellect and sentiment. In following this method, the apostle will find it easy to adhere completely to God and make himself, like Jesus Christ, Way, Truth and Life for souls (AE 39.46).

From Father Tom: Here is further insight on yesterday's quote. We must relate to God with our will, intellect and sentiment--but which is which? I would say the "will"=Way, meaning that we follow the Lord in a regular lifestlye; "Truth" refers to the content of what we teach, while "Life" is the emotional aspect of our relationship to the Master.
