Wednesday of the 5th week in Lent

You will learn the truth.
And the truth will make you free.
How we yearn for the confidence of youth.
Are we so often just at sea.Its strange how just a few words at mass.
Can acquire an intense potency.
Thus it was today at mass.
They seemed to have a real cogency.

The truth is not about obeying rules fearfully.
But the rules set you free.
They give freedom in certainty.
Through a fog of doubt they help you see.

But we search for truth all our life .
Yet even to the searching end doubt is rife.

……..

You will learn the truth
And the truth will set you free
Or that’s what we hope

See John 8: 31-42
