We must be scientific as well, but with a science which is open to wisdom, which demands contemplation. This is what the Community of Saint John must do. We are not the only ones. It would be incredible pride to believe we are the only ones. But what is important to understand is that we are made for this, for holiness, and that holiness demands poverty.
Philosophy is at the service of man.
Science is also at the service of man, but not in the same way, not in as direct of way. It is at the service of man, and man is not at the service of science. It is important to understand, through all this which is elementary, what the poverty of the Community of Saint John must be today. But we must not forget that our twentieth century, from its beginning, was in the grip of the crisis of modernism with which it was born. Now we know that this crisis consists in believing that science measures faith.
