Wisdom from Adrienne von Speyr

It is sin that sharply shows up the limitations of creatureliness. It separates human consciousness from God and isolates it in itself. At the same moment it also separates me from the other human being. It is the Lord who, in suffering for us, takes all our loneliness into his physical and psychic forsakenness on the Cross and graces us in the Eucharist with a new openness of body and soul to God and other men.

—Adrienne von Speyr
