"We may not wield the sword, but we wield our time, our plan, our ideas, our initiatives, our projects, and our priorities around ourselves. I formulate a list of the things I don't like about myself. I formulate a list of my sins and begin to plan my union with Jesus in reference to distance from sin rather than union with Jesus. And we can very easily miss the heart of salvation, what Jesus is all about, and that is Jesus Himself."
"Look, in or at, through this privation, not trying to find its own intelligibility, not trying to resolve it back into the putative sins, disorders, moral evils of this man or his parents, but rather, our Lord says, regard this evil, this blindness, this physical evil in relation to me."
Eighteen months ago we launched the Encyclopedia of Catholic Theology.
Our mission is to build a theological resource for the whole Church.
We need your help to continue. If you see the vision, support us today.

It is not in the presence of the transfigured Lord that they are afraid. Rather, they fall to the ground in fear when the Heavenly Father reveals—what?—His relation to Jesus and our relation to Jesus.
