How Scripture leads us to Christ

I just finished watching an address given by Houston Cardinal DiNardo at the Convocation of Houston Baptist University. His talk was focused on John 14:6 (”I am the way, the truth, and the life”).

Wow.

I’ll say it again: wow.

If you want to see how someone uses Lectio Divina (“divine reading”) to interpret a Scriptural passage and lead us to a deeper understanding of Christ, take the time to watch his address. It is just amazing. Cardinal DiNardo effortlessly uses Scripture, the Fathers, and the whole Tradition to explain this passage. And it all is for one purpose: to bring us closer to Christ.

Jesus Christ, Scripture

  1. Interesting. Wasn’t Absp. Chaput just speaking there as well? What’s up with all these Catholic archbishops at Baptist universities? Seems very promising.
