Antonin Sertillanges

“> With a rapid and often unconscious impulse, we pass from the trace or the image to God, and then, coming back with new vigor and strength, we retrace the footsteps of the divine Walker. We now find things have a deeper meaning, are magnified; we see in them an episode of an immense spiritual happening. Even while we busy ourselves with some trifling thing, we feel ourselves dependent on truth in comparison with which the mountains are ephemeral; infinite Being and infinite duration enfold us and our study is in very truth, " a study of eternity".”
