Christmas Faith

“We act in faith - and miracles occur. In consequence, we are tempted to make the miracles the ground for our faith. The cost of such weakness is that we lose the confidence of faith. Faith is, faith creates, faith carries. It is not derived from, nor created, nor carried by anything except its own reality.”

From Markings by Dag Hammarskjold (Vintage Books, New York 2006) p. 145.
