Benedictine Spirituality eCourse
January 6-31
|
Does the 1500-year-old Rule of Benedict of Nursia have anything to say to the modern world? Yes, for sure it does - in fact, sometimes it seems like it has never been more relevant. In this one-month e-course, Joan Chittister offers 12 brief audio teachings on aspects of Benedictine spirituality with accompanying written reflections to guide you into a new way of seeing and living. Her practical and inspiring commentary reveals how the Rule can transform both the individual and our world just like it did centuries ago.

Spiritual Direction available
|
Spiritual Direction, sometimes referred to as spiritual guidance or spiritual friendship, is an on-going relationship in which one person (the directee), wanting to be attentive to his or her spiritual life, meets with another person (the director) on a regular basis, specifically for the purpose of becoming more attuned to God's presence in order to respond more fully to that presence in all of life. The primary focus of the session is the directee's relationship with God as it is reflected and challenged by all aspects of that person's life.

Guest Accommodations available
|
One of the greatest gifts monastics can offer is their monastery as a place of prayer and peace, community and care, welcome and hospitality. In doing so monastics take to heart what Benedict advocates: the monastery is a dwelling where guests are to be cherished and respected, where hearts overflow "with the inexpressible delight of love." -Prologue, Rule of Benedict
Come for a week, a weekend, or a single overnight.
