THE MORAL IMAGINATION

“Ought I to try to explain why I believe?

I don’t think so. 

It would suffice if I attempt to convey the coloring or tone. If I believed that man can do good with his own powers, I would have no interest in Christianity…

"Evil grows and bears fruit, which is understandable, because it has 

logic 

           and

                    probability on its side and also, of course, 

                                                                                                   strength. 

The resistance of tiny kernels of good, to which no one grants the power of causing far-reaching circumstances, is mysterious, however. Such seeming nothingness not only lasts but contains within itself enormous energy which is revealed gradually. One can draw momentous conclusions from this: 

      despite their complete entanglement in earthly causality, 

       human beings have a role in something

        that could be called superterrestrial causality, 

         and thanks to it they are, potentially, miracle workers.”
