We have all read in romances, the story of the man who has forgotten his name. This man walks about the streets and can see and appreciate everything; only he cannot remember who he is. Well, every man is that man in the story. Every man has forgotten who he is.
-- G. K. Chesterton, from Orthodoxy
Comments from Kevin Belmonte....
Chesterton had been given the grace to remember who he was--a beloved child of the Creator--someone precious and unique--an integral part (as indeed we all are) of the great cosmic story that God has been writing across time. Thus each of our lives is imbued with profound meaning and significance. We are not solitary travelers left to our own devices--at the mercy of mere impersonal chance. God has written us into His story.
