“Universal salvation is therefore not embraced here as a conclusion reached at the end of a syllogism, but as the eschatological form of the gospel itself, flowing from God's Trinitarian identity as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and sealed in Christ's Paschal victory over sin and death. It is a truth to be proclaimed and contemplated in faith, yet its deepest confirmation does not occur chiefly in theological debate. Rather, it is disclosed through the Church's lived encounter with God in Christ-through narrative and sacrament; charity, beauty, and prayer; praise and doxology— where the reality of God's inexhaustible love is not merely affirmed, but known.”
