An Advent thought

"Why does faith still have any chance at all? . . .  Because it corresponds to the nature of man. . . .Man possesses an inexhaustible aspiration, full of nostalgia, for an infinite.  None of the attempted answers will do; only the God who himself became finite in order to tear open our finitude and lead us into the wide spaces of his infinity, only he corresponds to the question of our being.  That is why, even today, Christian faith will come to seek out man again."  Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger.
