"the Church ... is: response, adoration, encounter, presence, glory, and, ultimately, a mystical marriage between God and his new creation ... the "doxa" of creation, its response to God ... the climax, the personification, the affirmation of the ultimate destiny of all creation: that God may finally be all in all, may fill all things with himself. ... the world [as] the "receptacle" of his glory... actualiz[ed] as "joy and peace" in the Holy Spirit ... the taste—here and now—of the Kingdom which is to come... this combination of beauty and humility, matter and spirit, time and eternity ... is the real experience of the Church ...
