Pope Benedict: The Coming of Christ to us

Christ...is the living Torah, 
God's gift to us, 
in whom we receive all the wisdom of God.
In being united to Christ, in the 'co-journey' and the 'co-life' with Him,
we ourselves learn to be upright men, we receive the wisdom that is truth, 
we know how to live and die, 
because He is the Life and the Truth...

In early Christianity, it was like this: being free from the shadow
of groping along in ignorance- 
What am I ?
Why am I?
How should I move forward?-
being made free, 
being in the light, 
in the fullness of the truth. 
This was the fundamental awareness, 
a gratitude that radiated around and united people in the Church of Jesus Christ...

No one can say"I have the truth"- this is the objection raised- and rightly so,
 no one can have the truth. 
It is the truth that possesses us, 
it is a living thing! 
We do not possess it but are held by it.
Only if we allow ourselves to be guided and moved by the truth, 
do we remain in it. 
Only if we are, with it and in it, pilgrims of truth, 
then is it in us and for us.
