What Is Real Truth?

What is truth?

On this channel, we speak a lot about the teachings of the Church and how our society longs for these truths. But have you ever stopped and asked yourself what truth really is? There can be a lot of long, philosophical, complicated answers to this question, but today we have a simple one: truth can simply be defined as “what is.” In other words, a statement is either true or false depending on how closely it describes reality, or what is. But if truth is centered around reality, are there different truths for different people?

Today, Fr. Mike explains what real truth is.

Hey guys pray for me and I am praying for you❤️🙏🏼✝️

This video came out at an astoundingly coincidental time in my life right now.

I've been 100% certain in my faith for the past 8 years from high school to the end of college, and through the past few weeks, I've started to fight doubts that have never, ever come before me until now.

I've been questioning my faith. I don't disagree with the Church on any moralistic matter at all, as they've explained their stances and it all makes sense theologically and rationally, but my doubt comes from the idea that I should be taking what is said long ago or by some that I don't even know as "true", whether its if God's existence, if my prayers mean something, if everything really has objective meaning, or if nothing matters.

I don't want to lose my faith. At all. Without God, there's nothing to live for, and people tell me doubts are normal, but I want to go back to having confidence again; I want to go back to looking at the icons of Our Lord and Our Blessed Mother and not feeling guilty or sad, thinking that "maybe there is no God".

Please help me, and pray for my eased mind. I want to go back to normal.

Pray for me and also pray for the people in China.

I definitely have to listen to this again but I think it is that Truth is Truth even if no one believes it!!!

[nwright]

I love Fr Mike's enthusiasm and his smile !

The Word of God is truth. Nothing else.

[MCGaar]

So true! There are many relativist young people today who don’t believe absolute truth exists. Jesus is absolutely True!

[kerrieholian]

THANK YOU for telling people that TRUTH is not adjacent to what people think, know, or like. ♥️♥️♥️♥️

I was just making a comment about this to my wife when we were watching the senate confirmation hearings today. Ask and you shall receive!

In my prayers this morning, I was asking for clarity around the subject of “your truth” vs “my truth” vs “the truth”. Then this video popped up in my recommended. Thank you Lord and thank you Fr. Mike for making these videos 😇

[mrss]

Thank you father Mike. I get so tired of people saying well that’s your truth. I explain to them that there is my experience or my opinion or my preference, as you illustrated here, but there’s only one truth and it comes from God. They don’t like it.

Truth helps clarify the reality. Thanks Fr. Mike for explaining in detail.

[lokondamadhusudanarao-reei]

Something very noble to tell. Lies are easy. !

[ryousseph]

Praying for you Fr Mike and all the people at Ascension. You guys are awesome!

[JamesRichardWiley]

Truth is what I face every moment of my existence. It does not require an answer.

[davidalexander]

Truth is the mind conforming to reality.

[kerrieholian]

Subjective opinion is not subjective truth.
Truth is truth.
