Ave Maria Meditations
“For this was I born and for this came I into the wold: that I should give testimony to the truth. Everyone that is of truth, heareth My voice.” (Jn.23:37) “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (Jn 8:32)
The truth of God is immutable and cannot change. Holy Church possesses it in its entirety. If among the events and the vicissitudes of time it seems to change, it is only an appearance. The human intellect, according as it is more or less pure, grasps its meaning more or less clearly. Truth can increase and develop, or on the contrary, it can dwindle away in the intellect of man, but in itself, it is one and unchangeable. It can make itself more precise, it can be more firmly established, it can be defined and explained, and that is the justification of the slow but incessant development of the truths taught by the Church. Really new truths, especially truths in contradiction with the original truth, cannot exist.
+Mother Louise Margaret de la Touche
