Lovers Are The Ones Who Know Most

There Will Never Be Beings Unloved By God, Since God Is Absolute Love.

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.

It Is To The Cross That The Christian Is Challenged To Follow His Master: No Path Of Redemption Can Make A Detour Around It.

We No Longer Dare To Believe In Beauty And We Make Of It A Mere Appearance In Order The More Easily To Dispose Of It. Our Situation Today Shows That Beauty Demands For Itself At Least As Much Courage And Decision As Do Truth And Goodness, And She Will Not Allow Herself To Be Separated And Banned From Her Two Sisters Without Taking Them Along With Herself In An Act Of Mysterious Vengeance. We Can Be Sure That Whoever Sneers At Her Name As If She Were The Ornament Of A Bourgeois Past -- Whether He Admits It Or Not -- Can No Longer Pray And Soon Will No Longer Be Able To Love.

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.
