My Fundamental Intention

...My fundamental intention: to demonstrate the reality of Christ as insuperably the greatest thing, id quo maius cogitari nequit, because He is precisely the human word of God for the world, the most humble service of God which carries beyond measure every human aspiration to fulfilment and is the extreme love of God in the glory of his death, so that all go beyond themselves and live in Him. - Hans Urs von Balthasar
