The immanence of grace always and everywhere does not make salvation history cease to be history, because history is the acceptance of grace by the historical freedom of human beings and the history of spirit coming ever more to itself in grace.

— Karl Rahner Meditations on the Sacraments (1977)

More quotes by Karl Rahner

The devout Christian of the future will either be a 'mystic', one who has 'experienced' something, or he will cease to be anything at all.

Grace is everywhere as an active orientation of all created reality toward God, though God does not owe it to any creature to give it this special orientation.

Meditations on the Sacraments (1977)

Christianity really says only one thing: that the infinite incomprehensibility which we call God exists, that we submit to it unconditionally as our own perfection, and that the acceptance of this submission has received a historical and unconditional guarantee in Jesus.
