Faith Formation
Just as faith is a principle of understanding, so obedience must be a prinicple of freedom. You do not deliver yourself into the hands of authority like a man tired of using his initiative, abdicating; or like a sailor happy to find a quiet harbor at last after a stormy passage. On the contrary, you receive from authority the "duc in altum" (put out into the deep, Lk 5:4). You entrust yourself to it as to a ship leaving port for a glorious voyage and high adventure. - Henri de Lubac
