FAITH & THE HUMAN CONDITION 2022

Adrienne von Speyr [1902-1967] was a Swiss convert to the Catholic faith. She was a medical doctor, a wife, mother, mystic, and author of over sixty books on spirituality and theology. She shared a profound friendship with the famous Hans Urs von Balthasar [1905-1988], who was deeply influenced by Adrienne’s spirituality and mystical experiences. As in many spiritual friendships in Catholic history, this relationship yielded much fruitfulness to twentieth century Catholic thought and piety.
