“The Christian God came, not as a deus ex machina to set everything externally in order, but as the Son of Man in order interiorly to share in the passion of mankind. And this, too, is precisely the task of the Christian: to share in the passion of mankind from within, to extend the sphere of human being so that it will find room for the presence of God.” — Pope Benedict XVI
The Christian God came, not as a deus
ex machina to set everything externally in order,
but as the Son of Man in order interiorly to share
in the passion of mankind. And this, too, is precisely the task of the Christian: to share in the
passion of mankind from within, to extend the
sphere of human being so that it will find room
for the presence of God.
