Josef Hrdlička speaks about the spiritual challenges of our time while also accounting for everything important he has been engaged with since his youth. Remarkable impulses and encouragements to many spiritual, cultural, ecclesiastical, and social questions are voiced here. Is God really the center of our lives? What do believers doubt and what do atheists? What are the challenges of the post-COVID era? What spiritual needs do people have in cities and what in the countryside, in Bohemia and Moravia? Is art a gift of the Holy Spirit? In what sense does spiritual life face the risk of burnout? In what ways do we dare to swim against the current? And do we sincerely believe in God that He will use even the smallest expression of our love for good? The interview also engagingly maps Hrdlička's work in literature, translation, ecclesiastical liturgy, and musical pastoral care. It is published on the occasion of his 80th birthday.
