“If God continually discovered himself to men, there would be no merit in believing him; and if he never discovered himself, there would be little faith. But He usually hides Himself, and rarely reveals Himself to those He wishes to engage in His service. This strange secret, in which God has withdrawn, impenetrable to the sight of men, is a great lesson to lead us to solitude far from the sight of men.”
Pascal, “Letter to Charlotte de Roannez”, October 29, 1656.
