Dos voces diferentes y lejanas entre s interrogan al tiempo. Por iniciativa de la sede italiana de The Foundation for Improving Undderstanding of the Arts, estas dos voces se han puesto frente a frente en este libro, un encuentro involuntario. Las dos voces son, sorprendentemente, la del cardenal Ratzinger y la del pintor americano William Congdon. Dos caminos sin aparentes puntos de contacto particulares. Pero su pregunta sobre el tiempo les ha hecho cruzarse, una pregunta que en Ratzinger se convierte en meditacin y en Congdon, sobre todo, en imagen. Y, as, este libro une los escritos de Ratzinger sobre el Sbado Santo y los cuadros de Congdon que evocan la lucha del hombre que busca un tiempo significativo, una historia transfigurada. Y no puede ser casual que, a propsito del Sbado Santo, Ratzinger nos lo defina como ...este singular entretejido de oscuridad y de luz, de dolor y de esperanza, de ocultacin y de presencia de Dios, porque ese tejido paradjico ...pertenece a la existencia cristiana..., y es el tejido de toda existencia, un gran silencio dice Ratzinger citando a san Epifanio, pero un silencio en el que se produce una grandiosa transformacin. Y bajo este signo de transformacin radical el hombre puede aceptar su fatigoso tiempo como una riqueza operativa, porque en la oscuridad ...la luz est esperando, insertando en el hombre el impulso para buscarla y seguirla. Escribe Congdon: Pinto sobre negro porque pintar no es representar una luz que existe y basta, sino ms bien participar de la luz que est derivando desde la oscuridad y t la sigues desde el negro hasta el punto o cualidad de luz que es la que te ha aferrado.... Y en otro lugar: Cada cuadro era la rplica de una lucha entre vida y muerte en la palestra de m mismo. Quien tenga ojo que vea.
