Aflame with love: Selections from the writings of Blaise Pascal

Mathematics would not be the same without him, but Pascal's love for learning paled next to his passion for Christ. Few men have ever lived who thought more deeply upon the nature of reality. "At an age when others have hardly begun to see the light, he had completed the cycle of human knowledge," and seeing its emptiness, Pascal directed his energies to know Him in whom is hidden all the wisdom and the glory of God. Some of his reflections appear in this pocket-size book. Though space permits only a few to be cited, it is our hope that reading these thoughts will bring one to feel something of his passion for God, and thereby, to experience more fully the Word aflame with love.
