"What then I saw is more than tongue can say.
Our human speech is dark before the vision.
The ravished memory swoons and falls away.
I saw within Its depth how it conceives
all things in a single volume bound by Love,
of which the universe is the scattered leaves."
Conversation
Dante Alighieri, died Sept 1321, in exile from his beloved Florence. Committed to social justice, a man of deep faith, a visionary and prophet, who judged the world and the church by the light of the gospel and the radiance of eternity.
You have no idea how much I loved reading that in GUTD this morning. Thank you! After that, plus readings and prayer, I was motivated to go write for the first time in ages as I put the finishing touch on a GUTD reflection.
