"We are mirrored into life, not by concepts, but by faces delighting in us, giving us the beloved self-image we can’t give to ourselves. Love is the gaze that does us in! How blessed are those who get it early and receive it deeply." Fr. Richard Rohr. The truth is not found in propositions even though there are propositions that are true. God brought us life by mirroring his life to us in Jesus of Nazareth. When Jesus said he was the Way, the truth and the Life, he was not merely saying that what he said was the issue of truth but who he was the truth. In other words, it was his personhood who was the truth. When we look at Jesus we are drawn to him and transformed by what we see which is love incarnate. Have you been done in by the gaze of his love?
