As a philosopher, Titus was an ‘ideas man’. But truth for him was no mere idea. Truth was ultimately a reality, a person, Jesus Christ, the way, the truth, and the life (Jn 14:6). Titus had been locked up, imprisoned, but the truth was setting him free. Truth was a person. It had a face which Titus had before him. The face of Christ. And, for Titus, the act of looking at the image of Jesus in his cell was not one-sided. It was based in friendship. It was a look that was returned, from the Beloved to the one loved, a gaze that travels back and forth in mutual understanding, support, and love. Fr Simon Nolan, OCarm, unfolds 5 things about truth in the life and writings of St Titus Brandsma. https://carmelites.org.au/item/1157-titus-brandsma-teaches-us-about-truth #carmelite #carmelites #lectiodivina #titusbrandsma #saint #sttitusbrandsma #sainttitusbrandsma #martyr #catholic #christianity #prayer #faith #spirituality #philosophy #jesus #christ #scripture #prison #truth #bible #priesthood #vocation #religiouslife #kingdomofgod #canonisation #peace #hope #love #courage https://www.instagram.com/p/CeliIMxrRIA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
