The first thing that must strike...

...a non-Christian about a Christian's faith is that it is all too daring. It is too beautiful to be true: The mystery of being, unveiled as absolute love, coming down to wash the feet and the souls of its creatures; a love that assumes the whole burden of our guilt and hate, that accepts the accusations that shower down...all the scorn and contempt that nails down his incomprehensible movement of self-abasement...all this absolute love accepts in order to excuse his creature before himself.....

Hans Urs von Balthasar
