Today we continue our series, sponsored by the University of Dallas: "A Knight for Truth," examining the life and thought of Dietrich von Hildebrand.

In this episode, Lily explores the tragic nature of human love, even in marriage. Hildebrand believed that while marriage is the highest form of earthly community, without supernatural redemption, it is often tragic due to human imperfection and the desire for infinite love. Lily further warns against the dangers of complacency, taking one's spouse for granted, and prioritizing work over family. She emphasizes the importance of gratitude, humility, and keeping one's heart centered on what truly matters.

Today we continue our series, sponsored by the University of Dallas: "A Knight for Truth," examining the life and thought of Dietrich von Hildebrand.

In this episode, Lily continues to discuss Hildebrand’s perspective on love, emphasizing that true love involves perceiving the beauty of the beloved and responding with a desire to fully give oneself to the beloved. She also discusses Hildebrand’s recognition of the limitations of purely human love and the tragic element that derives from our finite and vulnerable nature. In contrast to this, Lily shows how only supernatural love, grounded in the mystery of the Holy Trinity, can fully satisfy the human heart's longing for eternal union with the beloved.
