How is it that, being continually reminded that everything that happens in the world is but a shadow, an image, the mystery of faith, we persist in relying only on our human faculties, and continue to interpret the merely temporal aspect of the unanswerable enigma of our existence? Like fools we continually fall into the trap instead of lifting our eyes and going back to the beginning, the source, the origin of things, where everything has another name, another shape; where everything is transcendental, divine, holy. (Jean-Pierre de Caussade)
