Faith-based Journey to Ultimate Happiness

The desire for happiness in the human heart is not limited to physical, ego, and social dimensions but yearns for a happiness that is unlimited and perfect. Fr. Spitzer calls this ultimate happiness Level 4 – the desire for the transcendent.

Journey to Ultimate Happiness explores Level 4 in depth, focusing on the nature of this experience, prayer, the Beatitudes, partnership with the Holy Spirit, contemplation and the Eucharist. This DVD series is available for group use and is accompanied by Fr. Spitzer’s book, The Five Pillars of the Spiritual Life.

There are 13 DVD sessions with a combined viewing time of 4.5 hours. The series can be licensed and comes complete with the book, exercises, group discussion materials, and facilitator training. The series can also be facilitated on location by a Spitzer associate.
