Fr. Spitzer on the call of the transcendent: “[T]hat there is a call or invitation within us to move to our true and sublime dignity and destiny, which is not a derivative of the alleviation of fear and wish fulfillment, but rather, is the irreducibly transcendent within us. Instead of pandering to our fears and wishes, this invitation calls us to confront our fears, transcend our personal wishes, and to make sacrifices for something truly pervasive, enduring, and deep.” [Fr. Robert Spitzer, Finding True Happiness: Satisfying Our Restless Hearts, Ch. 2].
