It is important to make this point. There are things so secret and painful and awful that only Christ can make them holy. He is the only one who can, and He will only do it in His time and with His own gentleness and severity. Only Christ can make hard things holy things. The horrible and the unmentionable will only be made holy by Christ’s proximity to the horrible and the unmentionable. A mystery taken in His body that does not give us an answer but only the mystery of faith. A faith born through hearing, led in prayer, established by offering.
