If I were to underline the soul-stirring statements written, the entire essay would be marked up. The portion that most resonated with me is your point that the symbolic universe is an ensemble that mustn’t lose a single detail. Could you imagine a major symphony by an orchestra lacking even a single musical section? So it would be in contemplative life without the mystagogical symbols which speak out loud to those who hear and see (understand).

I like this very much and will use it as a reference for the Sacraments. Thank you!
Thank you very much for your feedback!
