The Real 'I' is to Live in Truth

The emergence of the 'I' takes place in humility, gradually, through all sorts of setbacks and even mistakes. It is a slow and beautiful growth through all the stages of life. As we travel towards it, we are called to be patient, to find the rhythm proper to our growth, trusting in time and allowing all the things that happen to us, illness, crises, the things we read, encounters, separations and bereavements, to do their work gently within us. Where there is a real desire to live in truth, everything will work together for the good of the person and for his or her growth towards human and spiritual maturity.
