Not found it yet – keep looking.

My thanks to Andy and Derek (see comments on previous post), for looking at Google books and for their efforts to find that which was lost and redeem my literary lapses.

My pal Bob from New Hampshire tells me the Von Balthasar reference I'm looking for is in Grain of Wheat. Now this collection of Von Balthasar's aphorisms isn't on Google books as a preview volume, and I don't have a copy. So does anyone have access to a copy and is my elusive reference to be found there? I'm beginning to feel like the woman with the lost coin, unable to settle to those other responsibilities of life till I find the one that was lost. So I'm sweeping the house – figuratively speaking.

Here it is again – you can see why I want to place it – this is Von Balthasar at his most quotable. I don't know a better definition of that ecumenism of the heart that grows out of the love of God in Christ.

"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."
