Quote of the Day (John XXIII, on the ‘Pure Treasure’ of God’s Revelation)

“I will not be surprised at anything, even if certain conclusions, while preserving intact the sacred deposit of faith, turn out to be rather unexpected. Surprise is the daughter of ignorance. On the contrary, I shall rejoice to see God doing all this in order to make the pure treasure of his revelation more crystal clear and free from dross.”—Pope John XXIII, Journal of a Soul, translated by Dorothy White (1965)
