Wisdom from Hans Urs von Balthasar
Who he himself is no longer concerns him. That is why he is as ordinary and nourishing as a loaf of bread, from which anyone can break off a piece for himself. The manner in which he distributes himself merges into the way in which God’s Word is distributed in bread and wine.
—Hans Urs von Balthasar
quoted in the book, Distributed like Bread: Hans Urs von Balthasar on Discernment, Vocation, and the Priesthood

UNDERSTANDING VOCATION
This concise book presents Balthasar’s theology of discernment and vocation in a way that responds to current questions regarding the viability of the priestly and religious vocations today. Balthasar offers indispensable resources for understanding the relationship between personal freedom and vocation, showing how one becomes a person precisely through the reception of a definitive mission—a mission that makes a person truly ecclesial and thus open to both God and to others.
