Hans Urs Von Balthasar Quotes

The One, the Good, the True, and the Beautiful, these are what we call the transcendental attributes of Being, because they surpass all the limits of essences and are coextensive with Being Picture Quote #1
St. Paul would say to the philosophers that God created man so that he would seek the Divine, try to attain the Divine. That is why all pre-Christian philosophy is theological at its summit Picture Quote #1
The One, the Good, the True, and the Beautiful, these are what we call the transcendental attributes of Being, because they surpass all the limits of essences and are coextensive with Being Picture Quote #1
The Passion narratives are the first pieces of the Gospels that were composed as a unity Picture Quote #1
Without a doubt, at the center of the New Testament there stands the Cross, which receives its interpretation from the Resurrection Picture Quote #1
The Christian response is contained in these two fundamental dogmas: that of the Trinity and that of the Incarnation. In the trinitarian dogma God is one, good, true, and beautiful because he is essentially Love, and Love supposes the one, the other, and their unity Picture Quote #1

Above all we must not wish to cling to our suffering. Suffering surely deepens us and enhances our person, but we must not desire to become a deeper self than God wills. To suffer no longer can be a beautiful, perhaps the ultimate sacrifice Picture Quote #1
Without Easter, Good Friday would have no meaning. Without Easter, there would be no hope that suffering and abandonment might be tolerable. But with Easter, a way out becomes visible for human sorrows, an absolute future: more than a hope, a divine expectation Picture Quote #1
We no longer dare to believe in beauty and we make of it a mere appearance in order the more easily to dispose of it Picture Quote #1
If God wishes to reveal the love that he harbors for the world, this love has to be something that the world can recognize, in spite of, or in fact in, its being wholly other Picture Quote #1
Beauty is the disinterested one, without which the ancient world refused to understand itself, a word which both imperceptibly and yet unmistakably has bid farewell to our new world, a world of interests, leaving it to its own avarice and sadness Picture Quote #1
But the saints are never the kind of killjoy spinster aunts who go in for faultfinding and lack all sense of humor. (Nor should the Karl Barth who so loved and understood Mozart be regarded as such.)For humor is a mysterious but unmistakable charism inseparable from Catholic faith, and neither the progressives nor the integralists seem to possess it - the latter even less than the former Picture Quote #1

To be sure, the response of faith to revelation, which God grants to the creature he chooses and moves with his love, occurs in such a way that it is truly the creature that provides the response, with its own nature and its natural powers of love Picture Quote #1
Everything in Irenaeus is bathed in a warm and radiant joy, a wise and majestic gentleness. His words of struggle are hard as iron and crystal clear, ... so penetrating that they cannot fail to enlighten the unbiased observer Picture Quote #1
Without a doubt, at the center of the New Testament there stands the Cross, which receives its interpretation from the Resurrection Picture Quote #1
It is, finally, a word is untimely in three different senses, and bearing it as one’s treasure will not win one anyone’s favours; one rather risks finding oneself outside everyone’s camp... Beauty is the word that shall be our first Picture Quote #1
Whoever removes the Cross and its interpretation by the New Testament from the center, in order to replace it, for example, with the social commitment of Jesus to the oppressed as a new center, no longer stands in continuity with the apostolic faith Picture Quote #1
There is much in Christianity which can be subjected to exact analysis. But the ultimate things are shrouded in the silent mysteries of God Picture Quote #1
Advertisements
But the issue is not only life and death but our existence before God and our being judged by him. All of us were sinners before him and worthy of condemnation Picture Quote #1
The inner reality of love can be recognized only by love Picture Quote #1
What you are is God's gift to you, what you become is your gift to God Picture Quote #1
Even if a unity of faith is not possible, a unity of love is Picture Quote #1
Love alone is credible Picture Quote #1
Christian obedience, by its very nature, has a heroic character Picture Quote #1
Advertisements
A truth that is merely handed on, without being thought anew from its very foundations, has lost its vital power Picture Quote #1
To be a child means to owe one’s existence to another, and even in our adult life we never quite reach the point where we no longer have to give thanks for being the person we are Picture Quote #1
Thus it is necessary to commence from an inescapable duality: the finite is not the infinite Picture Quote #1
To be sure, the response of faith to revelation, which God grants to the creature he chooses and moves with his love, occurs in such a way that it is truly the creature that provides the response, with it's own nature and it's natural powers of love Picture Quote #1
The first attempt at a response: there must have been a fall, a decline, and the road to salvation can only be the return of the sensible finite into the intelligible infinite Picture Quote #1
Our situation today shows that beauty demands for itself at least as much courage and decision as do truth and goodness, and she will not allow herself to be separated and banned from her two sisters without taking them along with herself in an act of mysterious vengeance Picture Quote #1
