...trudging into the distance in the bleeding stinking mad shadow of Jesus...the Lord out of dust had created him, had made him blood and nerve and mind, had made him to bleed and weep and think, and set him in a world of loss and fire... --Flannery O'Connor

It Is Necessary to Pass by the Dragon
The dragon sits by the side of the road watching those who pass. Beware lest he devour you! We go to the Father of Souls, but it is necessary to pass by the dragon.
--attributed to St. Cyril of Jerusalem, as instruction to catechumens
