THE JOY OF TRUTH (veritatis gaudium) expresses the restlessness of the human heart until it encounters and dwells within God's Light, and shares that Light with all people. For truth is not an abstract idea, but is Jesus himself, the word of God in whom is the Life that is the Light of Man (cf. Jn 1:4), the son of God in whom is also the son of man. He alone, "in revealing the mystery of the father and of his love, fully reveals humanity to itself and brings to light its very high calling." When we encounter the Living one (cf. Rev 1:18) and the firstborn among many brothers (cf. Rom 8:29), our hearts experience, even now, amid the vicissitudes of history, the unfading light and joy born of our union with God and our unity with our brothers and sisters in the common home of creation. One day we will experience that endless joy in full communion with God.
