We are now standing in the face of the greatest historical confrontation humanity has gone through.

Believers do not surrender. They can continue on their way to the truth because they are certain that God has created them explorers, whose mission is to leave no stone unturned, though the temptation to doubt is always there. Leaning on God, they continue to reach out, always and everywhere, for all that is beautiful, good, and true.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Faith and reason are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth and God has placed in the human heart a desire to know the truth- in a word, to know himself- so that, by knowing and loving God, men and women may also come to the fullness of truth about themselves.
