"I believe that the universe
is an evolution.

I believe that evolution
proceeds towards spirit.

I believe that spirit is fully
realized in a form of personality.

I believe that the supremely
personal is the universal Christ."

- "How I Believe" by Teilhard de Chardin


"I speak to you,
my fellow priests...if
there be any among
you who are at a loss
in so unforeseen a
situation - with
your mass unsaid
and your ministry
unaccomplished -
remember that over
and above the
administration of the
sacraments, as
a higher duty than
the care of individual
souls, you have a
universal function to
fulfil: the offering to God of the
entire world."

- "The Priest" by Teilhard de Chardin
