We live in Your love as Your sacrifice of love; as Christ crucified lives with You, Christ abandoned, Christ dying, Christ buried, and descending into hell, yet such a Christ, in whom the Father's light shines, in whom the Father's light permeates the whole world. Accept our rebellion and that we resist Your Yes, if we also say no! For You Yourself are the Yes of the cross, the Yes of the glory of Your cross, the Yes of Your love.
(Erich Przywara SJ /1889–1972/, Prayers of this age, 8; during World War II)
