At My Father’s House, we believe that transformation begins with the recognition of reality.
Not a curated version. Not a sanitized story. But reality in full.
The ancients called this encounter truth—veritas—the first of the Three Transcendentals. Plato and Aristotle taught that all human beings are drawn by nature toward Truth, Beauty, and Goodness. These are not optional values. They are the very shape of the real—the signature of God across creation. To pursue them is to become more fully human. To reject them is to fracture the self.
Among the three, Truth comes first. And not because it is the most palatable.
Truth disrupts. It strips away illusion and reveals the fault lines in a life. Many of the men who walk through our doors do so carrying years—sometimes decades—of avoidance, self-deception, and pain. But beneath every addiction, every failed attempt at reentry, is a story that must be told truthfully before it can be redeemed.
Here, Truth is not merely spoken. It is suffered. It is shared. And, ultimately, it is sanctified.
Catholic tradition teaches that Christ is the Logos—the Word made flesh, the full revelation of the Father. He does not just speak truth. He is Truth. This is not philosophical abstraction. It is the beating heart of our work.
Every time a man faces his past honestly, he steps into the light of that Logos. Every time he names what was hidden, the truth becomes a threshold—not just for healing, but for holiness.
This is what we mean when we say our program is spiritual at its core. Not performative. Not therapeutic window-dressing. But a radical commitment to reality. The kind of reality that liberates.
We begin with Truth—because without it, nothing else holds.
Next week, we’ll explore the Second Transcendental: Beauty. Not as ornament—but as order, radiance, and resistance to despair.
