Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Over every living thing which is to spring up, to grow, to flower, to ripen during this day say again the words: This is my Body. And over every death-force which waits in readiness to corrode, to wither, to cut down, speak again your commanding words which express the supreme mystery of faith: This is my Blood.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The reality of spirit-matter is inevitably translated into and confirmed by a structure of the spirit.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
