The devil took advantage of Christ’s hunger to tempt him to limit his concern to the relief of human need. These are vital concerns, but they cannot be the sole concern of the Church. We need daily bread; we need, too, a reason for living, a sense of purpose, a vision.
A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral.
