More wisdom from Fr. Robert Spitzer, S.J.

 
 
 

Seneca [the stoic Roman philosopher] views a compassionate heart as something weak, preferring to help the other out of a sense of duty and strength. Jesus teaches the opposite—that compassion for the unfortunate is the power that leads not only to bringing corporal assistance, but also to the restoration of the other’s dignity and spirit.

—Fr. Robert Spitzer, S.J.

from his book, God So Loved the World: Clues to Our Transcendent Destiny from the Revelation of Jesus

BE TRANSFORMED

In this volume, the brilliant Fr. Spitzer probes in detail the major question: whether an intelligent Creator God—who is the source of our desire for the sacred and for truth, love, goodness, and beauty—would want to reveal himself to us personally and ultimately. After examining the rational evidence for this, he reviews all world religions to see if there is one that reveals such a God—an unconditionally loving God who would want to be with us in perfect empathy.
