“Man’s ability to see is in decline… because there is too much to see.”
These words of philosopher Josef Pieper offer an insightful diagnosis of modern man’s sadness. Our happiness, he argues, is found in beholding the beauty of God. But when we fill our lives with distracting sights and sounds, even the beauty of this world becomes stale. Only if we approach the world as a sign of something more can we really experience life in its fullness.
In this book, Fr. Christopher Seith immerses the reader into the sacramental worldview of Josef Pieper so that he can learn to experience life more fully. The Church, keeping alive in the world the mystery of the Incarnation, restores sight to the blind. Because She bears God within Her, She opens modern man’s eyes to something beyond this world. Pieper’s insights, formed by the Church’s teachings, offer the men and women of this age a new way of seeing so that the full depth of their humanity can be realized.
