“Great spirituality, on the other hand, is always seeking a balance between opposites, a very subtle but creative balance. As William Johnston, s.j., once said, “Faith is that breakthrough into that deep realm of the soul which accepts paradox with humility.”2 When you go to one side or the other too much, you find yourself either overly righteous or overly skeptical and cynical. There must be a healthy middle, and I hope that is what we are looking for here, as we try to hold both the needed light and the necessary darkness.”
