When I met Hitchens and observed him making the rounds of the invited guests before the debate, I immediately realized that I was the wrong person to debate him, not because of his intelligence, knowledge and charm, but because he was a man with such a wounded heart that he was just a minute away from encountering Christ. What he needed was grace, and that was something I could not give him, being myself in need of it every moment of my life. I realized that all I could do was to show him we were together on the same path because I did not believe in the god he attacked, and thus encourage him to be faithful to the wound in his heart and love the freedom which comes from the Truth.

Would that men might come at last to see that it is quite impossible to reach the thicket of the riches and wisdom of God except by first entering the thicket of much suffering, in such a way that the soul finds there its consolation and desire.
A Spiritual Canticle of St. John of the Cross (via quaerere-deum)
Christ is not “something” along side but “something ‘inside,’” inside your joy, inside your tiredness, inside your connivance or your common life, inside your repulsion or inside your liking. Awareness of the Mystery present makes our life a constant stream of novelty. With the acknowledgement of this dramatic presence, with this presence in which the divinity dwells in the flesh, something new “begins” — today, at eleven o’clock, at one o’clock, at six, at ten; tomorrow at three, or at four. At any moment at all, something new begins. —Luigi Giussani
