Death surrenders us totally to God: it makes us enter into him; we must, in return, surrender ourselves to death with absolute love and self-abandonment since, when death comes, all we can do is to surrender ourselves completely to the domination and guidance of God.
From Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
For ninety per cent of those who view him from outside, the Christian God looks like a great landowner administering his estates, the world. Now this conventional picture, which is too well justified by appearances, corresponds in no way to the dogmatic basis or point of view of the Gospels.
Man can be understood only by ascending from physics, chemistry, biology, and geology. In other words, he is first of all a cosmic problem.
Evolution is a light illuminating all facts, a curve that all lines must follow.
In each soul, God loves and partly saves the whole world which that soul sums up in an incommunicable and particular way.
The universe as we know it is a joint product of the observer and the observed.
Driven by the forces of love, the fragments of the world seek each other so that the world may come to being.
To our critical eyes, the threads of which the past is woven are, by nature, endless and indivisible. Scientifically speaking, we cannot grasp the absolute beginning of anything: everything extends backwards to be prolonged by something else.
He that will believe only what he can fully comprehend must have a long head or a very short creed.
Historically, the stuff of the universe goes on becoming concentrated into ever more organized forms of matter.
