“This makes a kind of sense until I look at a child, at all that is wonderful in the world, and then see that creation is both profoundly good and wounded beyond our understanding. The fact that it takes the incarnation, the crucifixion, and the resurrection to cut into the ice around our hearts shows the depths of the catastrophe.
And the fact that the catastrophe is often more apparent to us than the goodness of creation is not the way God wanted things to be.” (John Garvey, DEATH AND THE REST OR OUR LIFE, pp 42-43)
