Faith (cont.)

“Faith... is a divine operation wrought in the dark, even though it may seem to be embodied in intellectual arguments and historical facts; for it is necessary to remember that two equally sincere and intelligent souls may encounter the same external evidences and draw mutually exclusive conclusions from them. The real heart of the matter lies somewhere else...

...therefore, [we] must remember that while on the one side [we] must of course clear the ground by the action of the intellect, on the other side it is far more vital that [we] should pray, purify motives, and yield [ourselves] to God.”
~Robert Hugh Benson
