Always Learning
My parish is offering some very interesting adult education classes over the course of the next few months. Various experts will be coming in to teach on a particular form of spirituality. We will start with a primer class on Thursday just to introduce us to spirituality in general and the following week we will be learning about Carmelite spirituality. And after the lessons from the Carmelites comes the class that I have been waiting for–the Benedictine class on spirituality.
I don’t know what it is about the Benedictine method that fascinates me, but I am very anxious for the class. I suppose that since I have recently read a few books by monks who practice the Benedictine method then I know just enough to have lots of questions. I really hope to have most of my questions answered and to walk out with a firm grip on how to apply the method to my daily life. As you can see in some of my previous posts, a deeper prayer life is really something for which I am striving.
Anyways, I’ll keep you posted on the classes and share any valuable information that I learn. I really hope that a large number of my fellow parishioners will go to the classes. It is not every day that an opportunity like this arises, at least not in my parish. I’m looking forward to increasing my knowledge and my closeness to God.
God Bless.
