Non Moriar, Sed Vivam
“I shall not die, but I shall live, and declare the works of the Lord.”
“I shall not die, but I shall live, and declare the works of the Lord.”
So is it worth it to make something beautiful? Well, we can ask: Do we have something to honor? Do we have something to confess? Is this object redeemed by Christ and therefore worthy of great care?
When studied by Christians who live in the Word and Sacraments, math gives us a keen sense that the world is more beautiful and ordered than we could ever hope to grasp in this life.
The only true progress for which we can hope is the progress wrought by the Holy Spirit through the Word of God as we live lives of repentance and faith.
