JACQUES MARITAIN BELIEVED IN GOD

 

       The material in this site was extracted from the author's award-winning book, 

            GOD SEEN THROUGH THE EYES OF THE GREATEST MINDS (Click on title for information)


God does not leave man to the weakness of his fallen nature; grace, before healing and vivifying man anew, is still present to envelop and attract him, to call him and incite him in anticipation. Our fallen nature is exposed to grace as our tired bodies are to the rays of the sun.                                                                                                              (Maritain, 1953, 73)

God does not refuse His grace to one who acts to the best of his own ability; but it is under the action of grace that man prepares to receive grace.
(Ibid, 74)

What is needed first and foremost is a rediscovery of Being, and by the same token a rediscovery of love. This means axiomatically, a rediscovery of God.
(Ibid, 87)
