Mundus vult decipi. The world winks at dishonesty. The world does not call it dishonesty. - Martin Buber

The world is not divine sport, it is divine destiny. There is divine meaning in the life of the world, of man, of human persons, of you and of me. Creation happens to us, burns itself into us, recasts us in burning — we tremble and are faint, we submit. We take part in creation, meet the Creator, reach out to Him, helpers and companions.

All names of God remain hallowed because they have been used not only to speak of God but also to speak to him.
