The primary benefit of the \u003ci\u003evia negativa\u003c\/i\u003e, per Journet, is its power to simplify our apprehension of God. In entering into the awesome mystery of God himself, we encounter all other mysteries in their true depth—the life, death, and resurrection of Christ our Lord; the role of Mary, his Mother; the founding of the Church; and the meaning and power of prayer and the sacraments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eMoving nimbly from metaphysics to mysticism, Journet clarifies the key insight of the apophatic tradition—that we can neither speak nor stay silent about God—in such a way as to allow the dark mystery of God to shine as a light on the path of Truth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCharles Journet\u003c\/b\u003e (1891–1975) was a Swiss Roman Catholic theologian and cardinal.
