Fixed Feasts St. Justin Martyr (Jun 1/14).

(31 May/12 June, 1953)

Tomorrow is the day of the memory of the first literary apologist of Christianity — Justin the Philosopher. A brilliant lawyer and legal expert, he came to understand that the knowledge of laws is not yet the knowledge of Truth. Studying philosophical systems, he did not find in them an answer to the question, “What is truth?” Once he met an elder on the seashore; they struck up a conversation, and Justin said that no one could teach him truth, that no one could teach him to understand God. The elder answered that he would never reach his goal, because he wanted to understand God through the mind. But the truth of God has to be comprehanded not by the mind alone, but with all one’s strength: by the mind and the will and the heart; one has to live according to the truth in order to come to know the truth.
