Pierre Teilhard de Chardin can light a fire in us. He wasn’t afraid of what
science was revealing. Science, he said, reveals God to us. For him,
evolution was the heart of spiritual life, and our job to lovingly grow and
expand. “The heart of Teilhard de Chardin’s spirituality is truly linked to
the transfiguration of ordinary life into an ardent adventure of the
spirit,” writes Ursula King. “As Teilhard understood evolution as an
increasing process of spiritualization, he was particularly interested in
the awakening and rise of the spirit in the world.”
