Quote of the Day (Erasmus of Rotterdam, on Where to Find God)


“Vocatus atque non vocatus, deus aderit” (Latin for “Bidden or unbidden, God is present.”)—Erasmus of Rotterdam, popularized by the psychologist Carl Jung


My pastor referred to this quote in a sermon last week, and a friend of mine who happens to be a priest subsequently told me he keeps it on a sign in his own room. Jung put the Latin inscription on the door of his house and upon his tomb.
