"As in paradise, God walks in the Holy Scriptures, seeking man."
– St. Ambrose
Being Christian is not the result of an ethical choice or a lofty idea, but the encounter with an event, a person, which gives life a new horizon and a decisive direction. -Pope B16
You cannot put revelation in your pocket like a book you carry around with you. It is a living reality that requires a living person as the locus of its presence. -Ratzinger
Littera gesta docet, quid credas allegoria,
Moralis quid agas, quo tendas anagogia.
The letter speaks of deeds; allegory about the faith;
The moral about our actions; anagogy about our destiny.
