Which path?
"I do love him," you will say to me, "but by which path shall I follow him?"... Are you asking which way to take? First of all, listen to the Saviour say to you: "I am the Way." And to where does this way lead? "I am the Truth and the Life," (Jn 14:6)...You are not being told: Try hard to find the way that leads to truth and life. No; no one is saying that to you. Get up, you sluggard; the Way in person has come to find you. He is rousing you from your sleep if only you listen to his voice saying to you: "Rise and walk." (Mt 9:5)
