Beyond the veil - Catholic Review

The Canadian novelist Robertson Davies once described children as “literal-minded toughs.” Contrary to the common view that they have very active imaginations, children tend to take the world at face value, rarely looking beneath the surface. The recognition that one thing may be a sign of something else — much less that something material may be a sign of something spiritual — does not come easy to children.
Who do you say that I am?

Who do you say that I am? The idea of union with God is, for most people, alternately attractive and terrifying. Attractive, because no matter how far we have fallen through the sin of Adam and our own personal sins, we cannot shake the feeling that such union is what we were made for by the very God to whom we desire…

(OSV News) – The idea of union with God is, for most people, alternately attractive and terrifying.

“[T]here is no name, no experience, and no insight so akin to the everlastingness of God than what you can possess, perceive, and actually experience in the blind, loving awareness of this word, is,” writes that same author in another work, “The Book of Privy Counseling.”The awful (that is, awe-full) mystery that God revealed to Moses from the burning bush is “I AM WHO AM.” His name makes it clear that he is being itself, the very ground of our existence.

(OSV News) – Every Lent for more than 45 years, I have given up watching TV and have chosen a spiritual classic to read and meditate on instead. Through the years, I have returned to certain classics multiple times (especially “The Ladder of Divine Ascent” by St. John Climacus and “The Imitation of Christ” by Thomas á Kempis), and as with any book, new circumstances in life and years of study and prayer in between readings lead to a new experience of the text and new insights.
