it's all about Jesus...

     Spend a moment with St Maximus.

     'The mystery of the incarnation of the Logos is the key to all the inner symbolism and typology in the Scriptures, and in addition gives us knowledge of created things, both visible and intelligible. He who apprehends the mystery of the cross and the burial apprehends the inward essences of created things; while he who is initiated into the inexpressible power of the resurrection apprehends the purpose for which God first established everything,' (Centuries on Charity and Economy 1.66).

     'For Christ's sake, or for the sake of the Mystery of Christ, all the ages and all the beings they contain took their beginning and their end in Christ. For that synthesis was already conceived before all ages: the synthesis of limit and the unlimited, of measure and the unmeasurable, of circumscription and the uncircumscribed, of the Creator with the creature, of rest with movement - that synthesis which, in these last days, has become visible in Christ, bringing the plan of God to its fulfillment through itself,' (Quaestiones ad Thalassium 60, trans. by von Balthasar).
