Description
“Inventing Truths” is an excerpted song from the oratorio amass. It is comprised of a simple yet powerful statement that encourages us to look inside ourselves for reasoning as to why we believe what we believe. The text was originally written by St. Thomas Aquinas, translated here by Daniel Ladinsky.
Performed by Bernard Holcomb and Amir Eldan, Eugene Rogers conductor
Text
We invent truths about God to protect ourselves
from the wolf’s cries we hear
and make.
– St. Thomas Aquinas
