E174: Christmas, Blindness, and Poverty w/ Fr Spitzer
Manage episode 457261347 series 2516959
Why was Jesus’ birth so complicated, messy, and humble? How does weakness and suffering help us in the spiritual life? How has blindness affected Fr Spitzer’s spiritual life? Today, I sit down with the well-loved Father Robert Spitzer, theologian and philosopher. We dive into Christmas, suffering, and a very personal account of his blindness and how he has come to view it as a blessing. I hope you enjoy this Christmas episode!
