The Mystery of Christ

“The mystery of Christ is ours also. What was accomplished in the Head must be accomplished also in the members. Incarnation, death, and resurrection: that is, taking root, detachment, and transfiguration. No Christian spirituality is without this rhythm in triple time. We have to make Christianity penetrate to the deepest human realities, but not let it be lost or disfigured there. It must not be emptied of its spiritual substance. It must act in the soul and in society as a leaven raising the whole dough; it must supernaturalize all. It must put a new principle at the heart of everything; it must make the exigency and urgency of the call from above resound everywhere.”
~Henri de Lubac
