One Thing Eternal

One passage in particular (from Bossuet's Elevations sur les mysteres) vibrated in the deepest fibers of his being: "Let us form in ourselves the Holy Trinity, unity with God, knowledge of God, love for God. And since our knowledge, which for now is imperfect and obscure, will depart, and since the love in us is the sole thing that will never depart, let us love, let us love. Let us do without end what we shall do without end. Let us do without end in the temporal world what we shall do without end in eternity."--Jean-Jacques Antier, Charles de Foucauld (Charles of Jesus), pg. 94
