The Work With Which We Embark On

If God Wishes To Reveal The Love That He Harbors For The World, This Love Has To Be Something That The World Can Recognize, In Spite Of, Or In Fact In, Its Being Wholly Other.

The Saints Are Never The Kind Of Killjoy Spinster Aunts Who Go In For Faultfinding And Lack All Sense Of Humor.

A Truth That Is Merely Handed On, Without Being Thought Anew From Its Very Foundations, Has Lost Its Vital Power.

But The Saints Are Never The Kind Of Killjoy Spinster Aunts Who Go In For Faultfinding And Lack All Sense Of Humor. (nor Should The Karl Barth Who So Loved And Understood Mozart Be Regarded As Such.)for Humor Is A Mysterious But Unmistakable Charism Inseparable From Catholic Faith, And Neither The "progressives" Nor The "integralists" Seem To Possess It - The Latter Even Less Than The Former.
