"When I define equilibrium as a sign by which we can identify holiness, I am not referring to any kind of mechanical stability on the scales of life — between the tensions and passions of life — or any calculation for redressing the forces and instinct and virtue. Rather, the equilibrium we can assume as the distinguishing feature of the presence of holiness in the Church is a richness, that abundance of which Jesus says: 'a full measure, pressed down, shaken together, and overflowing, will be poured into your lap' (Luke 6:38). Utilizing imagery of everyday life, Christ was referring to all that is given by God who take up the mercy of the Father as their own criterion of life."
