I must confess to you in all honesty that for me God is and has always been absolute mystery. I do not understand what God is; no one can. We have intimations, inklings; we make faltering, inadequate attempts to put mystery into words. But there is no word for it, no sentence for it.

Karl Rahner in Awareness: The Perils and Opportunities Of Reality by Anthony de Mello

 

To Practice This Thought:
Honor the absolute mystery of the Holy One.
