“So Profound is the meaning of the Resurrection that everything, even the purest negation, that is touched by its light, acquires something of a positive orientation. Even darkness, even evil, even death, even sin: all of them seen by the light of the sacramental fire (of the Easter Vigil), become capable of helping the work of God.”
Thomas Merton, The New Man, The Noonday Press, New York, 1961 pp.244-255
