@FrTotleben I believe one of the best ways to open people to transcendence is memento mori. Many believe they have all they need and can be entertained endlessly online, but once they realize they will not have their credit cards or smart phones after they die, they realize they need more.
βMan is composed of body and soul. If the sensual part were to dominate, he would lean toward the animals; if the intellectual element dominated, he would live according to reason; and if the spirit reign supreme, he would lead an angelic life.β @FatherAlberione βThe Last Thingsβ
