“To conceive of God as simply infinite mystery, as the Void beyond our conceiving, was to lapse into silence. It was to say too little. To conceive of God as simply presence, as mercy, as friend, as ally, was to risk a ... reduction of the mystery to the level of easy familiarity. It was to say more than should be said.”
