Our lives are like unfinished symphonies, finding the finger of God in our every day life, and bringing context to life and death

– **The Infinite Horizon:** Drawing from theologian Karl Rahner, Rolheiser presents the concept of the “infinite horizon” to illustrate humanity’s innate longing for the divine. This metaphor emphasizes our perpetual yearning for connection with God amidst life’s imperfections. Life is like a symphony… yet in this life, every symphony remains unfinished. The infinite horizon of life is similar to other spiritual ideas… ‘our hearts are restless until they rest in you’, and we all have a God shaped hole that only he can fill. 

– **Sacredness in Daily Life:** The book encourages readers to find holiness in everyday moments, suggesting that God’s presence is evident in our routines, relationships, and challenges. Just look for God’s finger in your life. 

– **Paschal Imagination:** Rolheiser introduces the idea of a “paschal imagination,” urging believers to perceive their lives through the lens of Christ’s death and resurrection. This perspective fosters hope and transformation, even in suffering. As has been said elsewhere, ‘death brings context to life’. And Christ’s resurrection brings context to life, as well.
