Spiritual Quote of the Day (Fr. Jack Welch, on ‘The Catholic Imagination’)

“The Catholic imagination is a thesaurus of metaphors and symbols. The mystery of God requires a kaleidoscope of imagery. God is like a rock, a fortress, a shield, a place of refuge. God is like a mother, a shepherd, a dark night. The psyche finds images for what cannot be fully expressed.” —John Welch, O. Carm. (1939-2025), “Catholic Imagination,” Carmelite Review, Fall 2013-Winter 2014 issue
