Another Teilhard-inspired chant, from this quote:
“Christ would not be the God of St. Paul, nor the God of my heart, if, looking at the lowliest, most material, created being, I were unable to say, ‘I cannot understand this thing, I cannot grasp it, I cannot be fully in contact with it, except as a function of him who gives to the natural world of which it is a part its full reality and its final determined form.”
Since Christ is Omega, the universe is physically impregnated to the very core of its matter by the influence of his superhuman nature.
The presence of the incarnate Word penetrates everything, as a universal element.
It shines at the common heart of things, as a center that is infinitely intimate to them and at the same time ( since it coincides with universal fulfillment ) infinitely distant.” (My emphasis)
Teilhard de Chardin, “My Universe”, in “Science and Christ”, p. 54-61, quoted in Collected Writings by Ursula King p. 96-7
