"For Christ, death-however burdened and agonizing and essential-is only a passageway to fulfillment. 'Did not the Christ have to suffer these things before entering in to his glory?' he asks the disciples on the way to Emmaus (Luke 24:26). The Resurrection is the blossoming of the seed he has always borne within him. He who rejects it, rejects everything in Jesus' life and consciousness that is linked with it. What then remains, is not worth faith."
-Romano Guardini, The Lord
