The Peace Which Eludes Us...
"...One can know reality [objective truth] , but remain at odds with it by failing to interiorize it...but such a person lives an illusion in which peace eludes him. For a person to be at peace with himself and the world, he must not only know the truth, he must interiorize it, feel it, experience it, and freely embrace it as his own. To do so, he must trust the truth wholeheartedly, to have an impassioned love for the objective good and abandon himself to it fearlessly. This is only possible if truth is perfect love, which is only possible if truth itself is a perfect person. Truth is. Truth's name is Jesus Christ."
