Real faith is rooted in a basic unknowing about ultimate things, and religion helps us to be in relation to that mystery. This kind of unknowing can offer calm or create anxiety, depending on a person's faith. Often people fill in this emptiness by insisting that they possess the truth. The fragility of their faith is betrayed by their strident insistence on being right and by their efforts to force their views on others. They seem afraid of the very things that define religion: mystery and trust.
The soul fills the body, as God fills the world. The soul bears the body, as God bears the world. The soul outlasts the body, as God outlasts the world. The soul is one in the body, as God is One in the world. The soul sees and is not seen, as God is seen and is not seen. The sould is pure in the body, as God is pure in the world.
