 | "As the believer leaps into God, he cannot thereby renounce solidarity with his neighbor and leave him to his fate. His leap of faith, rather, must snatch up his neighbor and bring him along; he ought to leap for his neighbor, representing him in an indissoluble fellowship of salvation...Christian joy in its totality wells up from this point of solidarity; a joy limited to considering one's own grace and salvation could not claim to be Christian." --Hans von Balthasar |
