“In everything, whether it is a thing sensed or a thing known,
God Himself is hidden within.”
St. Bonaventure
(self fungus grows on the end of a fallen cut tree/ Julie Cook / 2019)
“What made the holy apostles and martyrs endure fierce agony and bitter torments,
except faith, and especially faith in the resurrection?
What is it that today makes true followers of Christ cast luxuries aside,
leave pleasures behind, and endure difficulties and pain?
It is living faith that expresses itself through love…
It is because of faith that we exchange the present for the future.”
Pope Benedict XIV, p. 205
