"Our intellect is our greatest strength and one of our greatest blessings, yet almost nothing gets us into as much trouble. Our strength is also our struggle. We think we know a few things, and indeed we do - a very few things.
"The greatest intellects, if they have wisdom and humility, know this. . . ."In a recent commentary using examples from the Bible, Monsignor Charles Pope (pastor of Holy Comforter-Saint Cyprian Parish, Washington, DC) reflected on how our intellect is both our greatest gift and our biggest stumbling block and on how only the "humility and silence of the mystical tradition can unlock its greatest potential: moving toward God in deeper wisdom and understanding."
