Quotable quotes

Let it be revised - I do accept this, yet, then, we should change absolutely nothing! On the other hand, indeed, let it not be revised - and I do accept that, too! But then, some things should be changed indeed, I mean a little bit here, a little bit there, namely in any and every single essential aspect! I say this to you all: none of you will ever get out of this very dilemma! (Mr. Farfuridi, a politician, in I.L. Caragiale, One Lost Letter)

Texts and metatexts

One of the main aims of theology is to encourage mature thinking. Apostle Paul says that the Bible can assist us in every essential way to reach maturity (2 Timothy 3.16-17) and that it is, indeed, desirable that we all should become mature, getting close to Christ's own stature of maturity (Ephesians 4.13-15). Maturity, then, is a state as well as a process. And, again, a paradox: in order to become mature, one should always be ready to admit to his or her own immaturity! We need to learn new things, to grow in faith, in character, all the time.

It's Christmas time! At such times we need to cross the increasingly drier desert of contemporary culture and meet Christ, like the magi did, two thousand years ago. Let's acknowledge Him and jolyfully worship The Son of God! Blessed Christmas everybody!
