Karl Rahner: Spiritual Writings, the esteemed Catholic theologian wrote, “Christianity’s sense of the human relationship to God is not one that says that the more a person grows closer to God, the more that person’s existence vanishes into a puff of smoke.” In the quest for the true self, one therefore begins to appreciate and accept one’s personality and one’s life as an essential way that God calls us to be ourselves. Everyone is called to sanctity in different ways—in often very different ways.
