Maurice Zundel Session "God, a love that sets us free"
Discover the spirituality of Maurice Zundel
To encounter God is to experience a Love that is already there and that sets us free.
He is not a rival of the human being but the God of life, "the one who constantly invites us to recognize his presence in all that is wonderful in creation."
Following Maurice Zundel, let us enter into the intimacy of this God who is "love, light and freedom."
Led by Father Philippe Blanc, vice-rector.
