Only In Christ Are All Things In

No One Should Think He Can Quickly Dispose Of Questions Posed Here Offhandedly. It Was Precisely Because Writers Were In The Habit During The Time Of The Reformation Of Theologizing With A Hammer That The Split In The Church Became Irreparable. And To Work At Overcoming This Split Means Much Effort. Only The Patient Need Apply.

Even If A Unity Of Faith Is Not Possible, A Unity Of Love Is.

Lovers Are The Ones Who Know Most About God; The Theologian Must Listen To Them.

There Is A Moment When The Interior Light Of The "eyes Of Faith" Becomes One With The Exterior Light That Shines From Christ, And This Occurs Because Man's Thirst, As He Strives And Seeks After God, Is Quenched As He Finds Repose In The Revealed Form Of The Son.

Hence The Importance Of Patience In The New Testament, Which Becomes The Basic Constituent Of Christianity, More Central Even Than Humility: The Power To Wait, To Persevere, To Hold Out, To Endure To The End, Not To Transcend One's Own Limitations, Not To Force Issues By Playing The Hero Or The Titan, But To Practice The Virtue That Lies Beyond Heroism, The Meekness Of The Lamb Which Is Led.
