Just a very brief reflection before I shut down for the day. I'm in the midst of teaching a course at a local parish. It's a course on the differences between the major Christian traditions. The course is well-attended with some 50 participants. I think we're having fun so far.

This evening, we had a brief moment of mid-course assessment and evaluation forms were handed out to the participants. When I returned home, I looked through the responses in the evaluation forms and came across something which I'm unlikely to forget anytime soon:

Question: Briefly share one major lesson you have learned from this course so far.

Response: How little I know.

To call this apophatic theology would be an understatement. It sounded to me like the cry of a heart that truly thirsts after the splendour of God's truth.

Lord, please make me humble like that. How little I know.
