Men & the Nun
"When one reaches the highest degree of human maturity, one has only one question left: How can I be helpful?"-TERESA OF ÁVILA

Rev. Ronald Rolheiser, OMI shows how identifying and embracing discipleship will lead to new heights of spiritual awareness and maturity. In the book, Sacred Fire, he takes us on a journey through the dark night of the senses and of the spirit. Fr. Rolheiser explains, when we embrace the struggle and yearning to know God we can experience a profound re-understanding to our daily lives.  In Sacred Fire, Rolheiser's deeply affecting prose urges us on in pursuit of the most holy of all passions-a deep and lasting intimacy with God. Sacred Fire is available from Amazon in different formats.  Join Sr. Teresa and some wonderful men on June 12, 19, 26 from 7:00 to 8:15 PM in Hendricks Hall. (Date change)



Registration is open until June 5th. We need at least 10 men.
