Reason and Faith
John 6:41-51
The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.…


There is nothing so truly reasonable as to exclude reason from the province of faith; and nothing so truly irrational as to lose sight of reason in things which are not necessarily of faith. The two excesses are equally dangerous — to shut out reason, or to make it all in all. Faith tells us what the senses cannot tell; but it never contradicts them; it is above, and not against them.

(Pascal.)
