It’s something that fascinates me, the fact that, being a human being, I am incapable of knowing and recognizing everyone who exists in this world… How can I accept to be limited to the point of knowing only a few human beings and knowing them so badly, though they are my brothers? … This is an experience that can be overcome in the hope of salvation, where the innumerable crowd will be seen and known. God alone can have this view of humanity in its entirety.
Jean-Marie Cardinal Lustiger (1926–2007)
