“Augustine has defined sin as the "love of self to the neglect of God" and opposes to this the "love of God to the neglect of self”
Jean Daniélou, Prayer: The Mission of the Church

“St. Irenaeus said, that "man exists in order to see God.”
Jean Daniélou, Prayer: The Mission of the Church

“It is at the name of Jesus, the Christ made man, that every knee is to bend in heaven. The overwhelming revelation made to the angels in the mystery of the Ascension is not that they are to adore the Eternal Word --- that is already the object of their liturgy; but rather, they are to adore the Word Incarnate --- and that overturns all of heaven, just as the Incarnation revolutionized all the earth.”
Jean Daniélou, The Angels and Their Mission: According to the Fathers of the Church
