Wisdom from Adrienne von Speyr

 
 
 

Each human assent to love is like a tiny drop in the sea. Before long, it ceases to be recognized because all of the drops belong to the whole, to a unity that flows forth over the whole world. This unity, however, has its recognizable source in the word of the Lord that he himself speaks in obedience to the Father.

—Adrienne von Speyr

from her book, On Obedience

LIVE IN LOVE

This compact book, one of Adrienne von Speyr’s last works, dives into the mystery of Christian obedience, thus bringing the reader into the heart of authentic Christian love. Profoundly misunderstood in our time, obedience is not just a vow for monks and nuns. Nor does it mean domination, an automatic response of a slave or puppet. Rather, it is the free, creative, and open-hearted response of a perceptive child of God.
