Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire. –Pierre Teilhard de Chardin.
A few weeks ago, New Pilgrim Path featured an essay entitled “Teilhard: Prophet of Cosmic Hope” as its website of the week. It attracted many requests for further information on the remarkable French priest, paleontologist, and mystic.
This week’s featured website is a full length film on “Teilhard: Scientist and Visionary”. Silenced by the Vatican in 1941 because of his views on evolution, his life is revealed in a drama of personal awakening, a search for meaning, scientific adventure, unresolved conflict with authority, cosmic hope, and celibate human love.
