Cardinal Basil Hume

“It is better to walk through darkness, the Lord guiding you, than to sit enthroned in light that radiates from yourself.”

“Why God should want and need us is a mystery. But it is true: otherwise he would not have created us and life would ultimately have no meaning for us. It is good to remember that in God the is a constancy, a consistency of attitude which never changes, irrespective of what we are or how we act: he never changes in is wanting us or needing us.”
