Quran 24:35
Going through the mail that has been piling up for the past several weeks; skimmed through a publisher’s catalog (Paulist Press), and ran across the description of Home by Another Route: A Journal of Art, Music and Faith, by Charles Scribner, III; in the course of this, was introduced to the Latin proverb – evidently, ancient – “lux umbra dei”: “light is the shadow of God.”
It’s a breathtaking thought.
For one thing, someone with this in mind would only forget the presence of God about as often as they forget the presence of light.
One response to ““Lux umbra dei””
