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
