“Because, my God, though I lack the soul-zeal and the sublime integrity of your saints, I yet have received from you an, overwhelming sympathy for all that stirs within the dark mass of matter; because I know myself to be irremediably less a child of heaven than a son of earth; therefore I will this morning climb up in spirit to the high places, bearing with me the hopes and the miseries of my mother; and there—empowered by that priesthood which you alone (as I firmly believe) have bestowed on me—upon all that in the world of human flesh is now about to be born or to die beneath the rising sun I will call down the Fire.”
Teilhard de Chardin 
The photo is powerful together with the words of Teilhard de Chardin. No matter how many times I read his words, I am blessed with new meaning each time. The passion in his soul speaks deeply to the passion in my soul. Thank you for sharing this.
I agree. The “Quote of the Week” for the past few weeks (and next few as a preview) are going through portions of Mass on the World. I remember how deeply moved I was the first time I read it.
