More Wisdom from Fr. Wilfrid Stinissen, O.C.D.

Compared to eternity, time can seem inferior, degenerate. But this is an abstract speculation. If we look at man’s purpose and destiny, which is to be introduced into the life of the Trinity, then it is clear that time is a gift. Time gives us a chance to grow. Thanks to time, what God has placed within us can germinate and become a tree. Because of time, we have the possibility of participating in God’s creation ourselves.

—Fr. Wilfrid Stinissen, O.C.D.
