"the best and the most that rational intelligence can do"

"the best and the most that rational intelligence can do is to recognize beyond all doubt the ultimate and irreducible superiority and anteriority of the mystery:  the mystery of things themselves, which prepares us for the all-encompassing mystery of ourselves as well as of the universe. . . ."

     Louis Bouyer, The memoirs of Louis Bouyer:  from youth and conversion to Vatican II, the liturgical reform, and after, trans. John Pepino (Kettering, OH:  Angelico Press, 2015 [2014]), chap. 2, p. 43.
