One more reason to READ Von Hildebrand!!

Dietrich Von Hildebrand Legacy Project: "Pope Benedict XVI once said of Dietrich von Hildebrand: “I am personally convinced that, when, at some time in the future, the intellectual history of the Catholic Church in the twentieth century is written, the name of Dietrich von Hildebrand will be most prominent among the figures of our time.” Besides distinguishing himself by his heroic Christian witness against Nazism, he also distinguished himself as one of the greatest and most original Catholic thinkers of the twentieth century. His profound philosophical work on love, man and woman, sexuality, the heart and the emotions, the foundations of the moral life, natural and Christian virtues, the place of beauty in the life of persons, person and community have inspired and influenced many. But these contributions are still not known as they deserve to be."

Alice von Hildebrand - Words to consider

Love and Responsibility Discussion Group: "How are we to reconquer the supernatural? Through prayer, sacrifice and penance, Dr. von Hildebrand explained. Being supernaturally motivated means we work for the greater glory of God, not for our own glory. With the rise of feminism, women realized that they were not appreciated, and they were quite right that they were not. 'But if you do it for God,' Dr. von Hildebrand asked, 'why does it matter? Don't concede that human recognition really has value.'"

Alice Von Hildebrand and her husband Dietrich (now deceased) are amazing people! I have read (not all of course) both of them and find what they have to say especially helpful for me a lay person, married and trying to raise children. Mrs. von Hildebrand's words have been especially helpful to me as a woman. Once again I found this discussion at Love and Responsibility. Love and Responsibility is another MUST READ for all!
