The older I get and the more I study, the more I realize I really don't know at all. One thing I am confident in: Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners, (and I say with St. Paul) of whom I am chief. The cross of Christ is the power of God unto salvation. Unless my faith and doctrine proceed from and lead to this font of eternal goodness, I am as lost as the most unenlightened pagan.
Unless we become like little children, we cannot be truly converted. In this way, the child is the teacher and all the earth stands in awe at the mysterious wisdom and goodness of God, who chose to reveal Himself to men not as a terrible destroyer, but as an innocent baby completely dependent on His human parents. Such knowledge is far, far above me.
