Teilhard on Christ
Glorious Lord Christ...
you who gather into your exuberant unity
every beauty, every affinity, every energy,
every mode of existence;
it is you to whom my being cried out
with a desire as vast as the universe,
‘In truth you are my Lord and my God.
-Teilhard de Chardin, from Hymn of the Universe (trans. S. Bartholomew, Harper and Row, 1965)you who gather into your exuberant unity
every beauty, every affinity, every energy,
every mode of existence;
it is you to whom my being cried out
with a desire as vast as the universe,
‘In truth you are my Lord and my God.
