Wisdom from Adrienne von Speyr

 
 
 

There is no other worship of God except worship in the spirit. But God gave not only spiritual gifts to man. The gifts of the body also come from him: nourishment and clothing and whatever else our earthly life requires. The Father gave all these to us, not in order to take them away again, but rather that we might use them in such a way that they may sustain and foster our spiritual life in true subordination to the gifts of the spirit.

—Adrienne von Speyr

from her book Water and Spirit: Meditations on Saint John’s Gospel 1:19-5:47
