Aflame 158 - It’s A Mystery

Our faith is full of mysteries - the Trinity, the Cross, predestination vs. free will, the Eucharist, the problem of evil. But is "mystery" just a cop-out - a code word for "stop asking questions"? No! Mystery is necessary in faith because we worship a God who is infinite and unlimited, while our human minds are very finite and limited. Just as we cannot fit the ocean into a bucket, so we cannot fully comprehend the ways of God in our small minds. But this does not mean we should cease trying - let us always contemplate with love the mysteries of God, that we may discover His glories for eternity!
