We make ourselves real by telling the truth. Man can hardly forget that he needs to know the truth, for the instinct to know is too strong in us to be destroyed. But he can forget how badly he also needs to tell the truth.
— Thomas Merton, No Man Is an Island, Sincerity
My friends, if we give up on truth in these trying times for truth, we give up on life itself, and on the Giver of Life, who is the Spirit of Truth. Let us continue to seek and speak the truth, as best we can, as faithfully as we can, as long as we can, with as much love as we can.
May God help us. Amen.

Good reminder. We sometimes find the truth unpleasant, but better to face discomfort than to be lost in deception and dishonesty.
