The facts in a field of study give us freedom to talk, to teach, even to make a living handling that knowledge. The skills one has truly learned give freedom to move through the water if that skill is swimming or to operate computers if that intimidating truth you've mastered. Rather, an important part of the truth is contained in human envelopes. The word without the deed is empty. The deed without the word is dumb.
Truth is incarnate, both word and deed.
We come soon to understand that people count, that it is in relationships, loving mercy, that we find our way, that we are not solitary animals, lone wolves, but people who need people. Indeed, if you have one friend who can restore your soul, you will survive. We learn that as Christians. Jesus Christ took on flesh. He lifted up and dignified all humankind.
