John Henry Cardinal Newman
“There is an inward world into which they enter who come near to Christ, though to men in general they seem the same as before….if they have drunk of Christ’s cup, and tasted the bread of His Table in sincerity, it is not with them as in time past. A change has come over them, unknown indeed to themselves, except in its effects, but they have a portion in destinies to which other men are strangers, and, as having destinies, they have conflicts also. They drank what looked like a draught of this world, but it associated them in hopes and fears, trials and purposes, above this world. They came as for a blessing, and they have found a work.”
John Henry Cardinal Newman was declared Venerable on January 22, 1991 by Pope John Paul II.
