Letter from Pierre Teilhard de Chardin to his cousin Marguerite dated August 7, 1927(Travel Letters, FM p. 151)

” … I perceive more distinctly how my interior life is definitely dominated by these two twin mountains : an unlimited faith in our Lord, animator of the World, and an unconfusible faith in the world (especially human) animated by God. Opportune and importunate, as Saint Paul says, I feel resolved to declare myself ” believer ” in the future of the World in spite of appearances, in spite of a false orthodoxy that confuses progress and materialism, change and liberalism, human perfection and naturalism . ..

I have no other ambition than to leave behind me the trace of a logical life, all stretched towards the great hopes of the World. This is the future of human religious life. I’m as sure of that as I am of my existence. “
