The Divine Milieu
“Christianity is not, as it is sometimes presented and sometimes practiced, an additional burden of observances and obligations to weigh down and increase the already heavy load, or to multiply the already paralyzing ties of our life in society. It is, in fact, a soul of immense power which bestows significance and beauty and a new lightness on what we are already doing.” — Teilhard de Chardin, The Divine Milieu, pp. 34-35.

How absolutely true! And I am incredibly grateful.

I really like this sentiment because it seems to me that a “miracle” in daily life is seeing a situation with fresh eyes, seeing through what we thought was a limiting or debilitating condition to the face of Christ that lies just beyond (or within) it. A way of seeing that changes everything.
