Spirituality

Ilia Delio is one of the most creative thinkers on the dialogue between religion and science. Building on the visionary work of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, she has explored the implications of an evolving universe for our understanding of catholicity. In these reflections, written for a broad audience of those seeking meaning and purpose in today's world, she sees the universe itself as the new monastery, the place to seek God. Just as in a monastery the recitation of the Hours calls to mind the work of God in our lives, so too in the new monastery we reflect on the gift of creation, the sufferings we bear, and our ultimate destiny.
