“Every person has the task of releasing angels by shaping and transfiguring the raw materials that lie about [them] so that they become houses and machinery and pictures and bridges. How we do this—how we “build the earth,” to use Teilhard de Chardin’s phrase—is determined by the discovery and use of our gifts.”
—Elizabeth O’Connor, Eighth Day of Creation, p. 13
