DAILY CONTEMPLATION

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (Jn 14:6)
[Because] we had no way whereby to go to the Truth, the Son of God,
who is ever in the Father the Truth and Life,
by assuming man’s nature became the Way.
Walk by Him as Man, and you come to God.
By Him you go, to Him you go. Look not for any way whereby to come to Him, besides Himself.
For if He had not vouchsafed to be the Way, we would have always gone astray.
He then became the Way Whereby you should come;
I do not say to you, seek the Way. The Way Itself has come to you, arise and walk.
Walk, with the life, not with the feet. For many walk well with the feet, and with their lives walk ill.
Sometimes even those who walk well, run outside the way.
Thus you will find men living well, and not Christians. They run well; but they run not in the way.
The more they run, the more they go astray; because they are out of the Way.
But if such men as these come to the Way, and hold on the Way,
O how great is their security, because they both walk well, and do not go astray!
St. Augustine
