As Civilization Advances, The Sense Of Wonder

Only Those Will Apprehend Religion Who Can Probe Its Depth, Who Can Combine Intuition And Love With The Rigor Of Method

God Is Not Nice. God Is Not An Uncle. God Is An Earthquake.

Wonder Or Radical Amazement Is The Chief Characteristic Of The Religious Man's Attitude Toward History And Nature.

There Is A Built-in Sense Of Indebtedness In The Consciousness Of Man, An Awareness Of Owing Gratitude, Or Being Caled Upon At Certain Moments To Reciprocate, To Answer, To Live In A Way Which Is Compatible With The Grandeur And Mystery Of Living.

Instead Of Indulging In Jealousy, Greed, In Relishing Themselves, There Are Men Who Keep Their Hearts Alert To The Stillness In Which Time Rolls On And Leaves Us Behind. ... Those Who Are Open To The Wonder Will Not Miss It. Faith Is Found In Solicitude For Faith, In An Inner Care For The Wonder That Is Everywhere.
