I lost it. I don't know where. I was sure I'd put it safe. But I've looked in all the obvious places and can't find it. The annoying thing is I'm usually so careful with such things. I can't even blame anyone else for taking it, losing it, breaking it, stealing it, hiding it. I was the last person to see it. The responsibility is entirely mine that I can't find it. So can any of you good and patient people who frequent this blog help me find it?

I've lost a reference. It comes from Hans Urs Von Balthasar, I think from his book Love Alone is Credible. I've re-ordered the book but need the reference, like, now!? – for an article at the proof stage.


Here's the quote I need to pin down – any Balthasarians out there who can help find this – if you could love would indeed be credible (which by the way is a more reassuring statement than the bland overstatement that love is incredible!).


"Only in Christ are all
things in communion. He is the point of convergence of all hearts and beings
and therefore the bridge and the shortest way from each to each."


By the way – the guy in the photo isnae me – cos I hivnae got a moustache. But I liked the idea of a magnifying glass on a headband with a wee searchlight as a research tool for those who mislay important references.

    Jim,
    In a quick search I could not find the exact quote but you can search von Balthasar’s books, including Love Alone is Credible, in Google Books, here:
    http://books.google.com/books?um=1&lr=&q=Hans+Urs+von+Balthasar&btnG=Search+Books
    And this is the link for Love Alone is credible:
    http://books.google.com/books?id=Z02l9LdR-EkC&printsec=frontcover&dq=Hans+Urs+von+Balthasar+Love+alone+is+credible&lr=
    Hope this helps – I’ve been checking in on the blog for a while and like it very much…we are both NMBC alum, I believe, though several years apart – I am a transplanted Scot, overseas since ’95…
    thanks for the blog…
    God bless,
    Derek
