“... helping each other to have a true gaze on reality, on the circumstances we are living in, is the first gesture of friendship we can offer each other for living like human beings in the presence of the needs of the world.”
Julian Carron, Disarming Beauty: Essays on Faith, Truth, and Freedom

“This is nothing more than the application of a universal law, a law in effect since the time human beings were human beings: “A person rediscovers himself in a living encounter.”17 But here, in the encounter with the presence of the Mystery become a human fact, this law is fulfilled, becomes definitively true, because “it is in an encounter that I become aware of myself…. The ‘I’ awakens from its imprisonment in its original womb, awakens from its tomb, from its sepulcher, from its closed situation of origin and—as it were—‘resurrects,’ becomes aware of itself, precisely in an encounter.”
Julian Carron, Disarming Beauty: Essays on Faith, Truth, and Freedom

“T. S. Eliot’s words ring true: “They constantly try to escape / From the darkness outside and within / By dreaming of systems so perfect that no one will need to be good.”19 This applies to one group as much as the other. But the attempt to resolve human questions with procedures will never be sufficient. Again it is Benedict XVI who says it best: “Since man always remains free and since his freedom is always fragile, the kingdom of good will never be definitively established in this world. Anyone who promises the better world that is guaranteed to last forever is making a false promise; he is overlooking human freedom.” Rather, “If there were structures which could irrevocably guarantee a determined—good—state of the world, man’s freedom would be denied, and hence they would not be good structures at all…. In other words: good structures help, but of themselves they are not enough. Man can never be redeemed simply from outside.”20”
