My favorite Teilhard quote from this recording is in the book Hymn of the Universe (p. 31):
[p.31]
Lord Jesus, now that beneath those world-forces you have become truly and physically everything for me, everything about me, I shall gather into a single prayer both my delight in what I have and my thirst for what I lack; and following the lead of your great servant I shall repeat those enflamed words in which, I firmly believe, the christianity of tomorrow will find its increasingly clear portrayal:
‘Lord, lock me up in the deepest depths of your heart; and then, holding me there,
burn me, purify me, set me on fire, sublimate me, until I become utterly what
you would have me be, through the utter annihilation of my ego.’
