Relevance

Those who are most relevant to the modern world are those most irrelevant to the moral purpose of God, but those who are irrelevant to the world by virtue of their relevance to God actually have the most to say to the world.  They are, in fact, the only ones who have anything to say to it.  That is what Jesus declared, what the Church in its best moments has known, and what we, by the grace of God, can yet discover.
