Henri de Lubac quotes:
-
The Church is a perpetual construction site.
-
Habit and routine have an unbelievable power to waste and destroy.
-
Nothing remains intact without effort. Repetition of formulas does not assure the transmission of thought. It is not safe to entrust a doctrinal treasure to the passivity of memory. Intelligence must play a part in its conservation, rediscovering it, so to speak, in the process.
-
It's not sincereity, it is truth which frees us, because it transforms us. It tears us away from our inmost slavery.
-
The age of the proof is in decline, it is the hour of 'witness' that is coming, hour of the 'marturioa', very calm and very complete: a hope which seems close to being realised.
-
The turning point in history will be the moment man becomes aware that the only god of man is man himself.
