Born the fourth child of a family of minor nobility and the greatnephew of Voltaire, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin was a wellrespected scientist and a Jesuit priest who tirelessly pursued the connection between science and religion. He felt that only through purity of heart and not pure science, is one ableto discover, with certainty, a creator behind the forces of nature. Seek Christ in all of creation. A mystic and visionary, Pierres spirituality unites what seems to be contradictory experiencesintellect and adoration, science and religion, evolution and creation. Pierre believed that creation was not a single act, but a process that has never stopped; a great continuous gesture which spans across the totality of time; the universe is clay in the hands of the Creator, molded into the infinite possibilities that lay before us. Ultimately, it is here, with open hearts to the world around us, that we find the fundamental energy and the manifestation of God in the universelove of Christ, love of neighbor and love of all creation. Enjoy your time with Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and be prepared to be surprised as you journey with one of the most engaging spiritual figures of our time.
