"The first thing that must strike a non-Christian about a Christian's faith is that it is all too daring. It is too beautiful to be true: The mystery of being, unveiled as absolute love, coming down to wash the feet and the souls of its creatures; a love that assumes the whole burden of our guilt and hate, that accepts the accusations that shower down.. all the scorn and contempt that nails down his incomprehensible movement of self-abasement -- all this absolute love accepts in order to excuse his creature before himself......"
This quote is by Hans Urs VonBalthasar. It was the last quote on Gerard Serafin's "A Catholic Blog for Lovers." He has passed away. May the tender light of Christ shine down on him during his purification, and receive him warmly into that Celestial Kingdom we all await!
