To Be Sure, The Response Of Faith

Consequently, Christian Meditation Is Entirely Trinitarian And At The Same Time Entirely Human. In Order To Find God, No One Need Reject Being Human Personally Or Socially, But In Order To Find God All Must See The World And Themselves In The Holy Spirit As They Are In God's Sight.

Beauty Is The Disinterested One, Without Which The Ancient World Refused To Understand Itself, A Word Which Both Imperceptibly And Yet Unmistakably Has Bid Farewell To Our New World, A World Of Interests, Leaving It To Its Own Avarice And Sadness.

Being Disguised Under The Disfigurement Of An Ugly Crucifixion And Death, The Christ Upon The Cross Is Paradoxically The Clearest Revelation Of Who God Is.

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.

Only The Christian Religion, Which In Its Essence Is Communicated By The Eternal Child Of God, Keeps Alive In Its Believers The Lifelong Awareness Of Their Being Children, And Therefore Of Having To Ask And Give Thanks For Things.
