Blind Quote by Basil Hume

“We are blind: we cannot see God with our senses,…” quote by Basil Hume — Download Open image

“We are blind: we cannot see God with our senses, and our deductions from what we know or are thinking about the word of God itself - how little power they have to bring us to God! We are blind, and our eyes need the touch of our Lord's hand to enable us at times to even see dimly.”
