to be a witness

Another quote Rebekah shared with me, found in Madeleine L'Engle's Walking on Water, and not without relevance with respect to Sunday's gospel:

"As Emmanuel, Cardinal Suhard says, 'To be a witness does not consist in engaging in propaganda, nor even in stirring people up, but in being a living mystery. It means to live in such a way that one's life would not make sense if God did not exist.'"
