On Mysteries Mortal and Divine Lord, we make much of divine mysteries, the Immaculate Conception, the Trinity, the very existence of God, Your undiminished capacity to allow the perpetuation of suffering. These mysteries, by their nature, are inexplicable. "The human mind cannot rationalize the infinite," say academic-minded theologians. "It's strictly a matter of Faith," say more down-to-Earth priests. However, it is not divine mysteries that preoccupy me. Rather, I am perplexed by the mysteries of man, how a soul who opens itself to the experiential revelations of its being and who accepts the terms of an uncompromising necessity for a frankly insane and ignorant brutality by which the Earth and those who dwell upon it subsist if not progress, can persist in the charade that it is, in fact, a soul. |
