Timothy Radcliffe, O.P. "Stretches Open Our Way of Talking"

"But the journey does not end  there [with the Old and New Testaments]. The Word has been made flesh and dwelt among us, but all the rest of history will be catching up to this event... . The Bible... invites us... to enter into a conversation which stretches open our ways of talking. We are forever searching for words that will let us delight in the particular and reach out to the universal. The movement that we saw beginning in the Old Testament and finding its culmination in the New carries on. We go on searching for words that are precise enough for the particularity of Jesus and spacious enough for his universality."   "The World Shall Come to Walsingham", in Sacred Space, ed.
