What is asked of us is that we wrestle in faith with God and with whatever opposes us in the world. It is not the faith of cheerful fables that is demanded of us in these times, but rather a hard faith–for the softening and accomodating enchantment is falling away from all things, and everywhere the contradictions collide roughly with one another.

I believe it’s from The Lord. I should have said I got it from Magnificat, and I don’t have the magazine at hand now to check.

I’ve been meaning to read that book for over a decade.

Me, too, but I was mistaken about the quote: it’s from Jesus Christus: A Classic Meditation on Christ.
