The Day Is Not Far

In The Final Analysis, The Questions Of Why Bad Things Happen To Good People Transmutes Itself Into Some Very Different Questions, No Longer Asking Why Something Happened, But Asking How We Will Respond, What We Intend To Do Now That It Happened.

Without You, Without Your Onslaughts, Without Your Uprootings Of Us, We Should Remain All Our Lives Inert, Stagnant, Puerile, Ignorant Both Of Ourselves And Of God. You Who Batter Us And Then Dress Our Wounds, You Who Resist Us And Yield To Us, You Who Wreck And Build, You Who Shackle And Liberate, The Sap Of Our Souls, The Hand Of God, The Flesh Of Christ: It Is You, Matter, That I Bless.

The Outcome Of The World, The Gates Of The Future, The Entry Into The Super-human - These Are Not Thrown Open To A Few Of The Privileged Nor To One Chosen People To The Exclusion Of All Others. They Will Open Only To An Advance Of All Together, In A Direction In Which All Together Can Join And Find Completion In A Spiritual Renovation Of The Earth.

By Means Of All Created Things, Without Excaption, The Divine Assails Us, Penetrates Us, And Molds Us. We Imagined It As Distant And Inaccessible, When In Fact We Live Steeped In Its Burning Layers

What Disconcerts The Modern World At Its Very Roots Is Not Being Sure, And Not Seeing How It Ever Could Be Sure, That There Is An Outcome-a Suitable Outcome To Evolution. Half Our Present Uneasiness Would Be Turned To Happiness If We Could Once Make Up Our Minds To Accept The Facts And Place The Essence And The Measure Of Our Modern Cosmogonies Within A Noogenesis.
