No comments on A Night that is More Illuminating than the Day

Charles JournetIt is like a peace, a silence of words, even a silence of thoughts, that passes in the soul, and our intelligence penetrates more and more into a night that is more illuminating than the day. Every truly Christian life, even in its initial stages, must carry in itself something of a beginning of orientation towards contemplation.
Charles Cardinal Journet (1891–1975)
