The Victory of the Cross

The world has value only in so far as through it we see and receive the
revelations and the energies of the person of God who in Himself, in His
essence, cannot be described, but whose energies are already at work in all
creation and will be fully revealed in the transfigured world of the age to
come. Until the last day, God is at work in this world, leading it towards
its
resurrection, above all by means of the cross.
