"By
faith, we understand, if we are to understand it at all, that the
madness and lostness we see all around us and within us are not the last
truth about the world but only the next to the last truth ... Faith is
the eye of the heart and by faith we see deep down beneath the face of
things--by faith we struggle against all odds to be able to see--that
the world is God's creation even so. It is he who made us and not we
ourselves, made us out of his peace to live in peace, out of his light
to dwell in light, out of his love to be above all things loved and
loving. That is the last truth about the world."
