"suffering is down at the center of things, deep down where the meaning is. suffering is the meaning of our world. for Love is the meaning. and Love suffers. the tears of God are the meaning of history.
but mystery remains. why isn't Love-without-suffering the meaning of things? why is suffering-Love the meaning? why does God endure his suffering? why does he not at once relieve his agony by relieving ours?"
