Flannery O’Connor once said, riffing on John 8:32, “You shall know the truth, and the truth will make you strange.”
I love this quote.
If what we say in the creed is true, we are going to have a wild journey… an adventure to know God as love and to act out of that knowledge. It will certainly, and thank goodness, be unpredictable, leading us little by little to a profound interior freedom.
If we are not comfortable being strange, neither should we expect to be free.
