Wisdom from Fr. Spitzer

 
 
 

The idea of God being supremely humble, supremely gentle and affectionate, and making us his equal (fundamental dispositions arising out of his unconditional love) is distinctive to Christianity; though some religions address these characteristics in God, they are not viewed as the central essence of God or the core of our relationship with Him.

—Fr. Robert Spitzer, S.J.

from his book The Soul’s Upward Yearning

OUR LIVES HAVE MEANING

Father Spitzer’s work shows that we are transcendent beings with souls capable of surviving bodily death; that we are self-reflective beings aware of and able to strive toward perfect truth, love, goodness, and beauty; that we have the dignity of being created in the very image of God.
