In this course, you will journey down distinctive paths to God and holiness from seven powerful schools of spirituality. You are likely familiar with one or more of these schools, but how many of us have benefited from the depth of all seven? By enjoying each lecture, you will discover what makes these seven schools unique as you become more attuned to the evolving movements of the Spirit. Your professor is celebrated spirituality expert Fr. Anthony Ciorra, Ph.D. Under his guidance, you will explore how different religious founders developed new insights and charisms, adapting them to the cultures, times, and needs of different generations. Who were these founders, and what influences shaped their spiritual lives? First, you will journey into the Egyptian desert, where the wisdom of the Desert Fathers and Mothers will inspire you. Then, you will see how the Monastic Movement flourished throughout Europe. You will also meet the preeminent mendicant preachers, St. Francis of Assisi and St. Dominic, who each founded influential orders based on the charism of poverty. After that, you will travel to Mount Carmel to witness the founding of the Carmelites, whose mysticism flourished first under John of the Cross and Teresa of Avila, and carried on with such twentieth-century saints as Thérèse of Lisieux and Edith Stein. Next, you will witness the conversion of St. Ignatius of Loyola, whose command to go forth and set the world on fire continues to guide members of the Society of Jesus throughout the world. You will also explore the impact of Salesian spirituality and the Vincentian-Setonian tradition. By studying these particular seven schools, you will discover how religious movements arise and transform countless lives over centuries. While these are only just a few of the many schools of spirituality, these seven eminent movements will give you greater insight into the influences of the Spirit throughout human experience. This course will spiritually inspire you with the richness of our Christian tradition.

We call these schools great because the founder I who had the initial impulse in the development of spirituality unfolded something new, an element that brought spirituality to its next historical level. Those who embraced the insight of the founder usually nuanced it and applied it to new centuries and changing circumstances. As each new school emerged, it embraced an earlier tradition, built upon it, and then brought it to a new place. As we journey through this course, the challenge is to understand the evolving nature of each school and how this relates to your experience and the place you find yourself at this moment on your journey. The Human Impulse towards the Transcendent Every human, without exception, is looking for “the something more.” St. Augustine: “Our hearts are restless until they rest in God.” We can move towards the transcendent in different ways. A spirituality of beauty: 1) In his Apostolic Exhortation, “The Joy of the Gospel,” Pope Francis affirms the role of beauty in the spiritual life. 2) We can see these seven schools of Christian spirituality as moments of beauty. The human spirit is moving towards the beautiful. Seven Schools of Christian Spirituality Each group or movement builds on what went before it and transcends it, moving to the next step in the historical and global journey. 1) Desert spirituality emerged in response to the institutionalization of Christianity and the end of the martyrdom era. Desert spirituality built on the scriptures and emphasized the desert experience, which focused on a withdrawal from the world. 2) Monastic spirituality included components of desert spirituality and added a communal dimension to it.

  • The Hermeneutics of John Cassian in Conference 14
    Logos: A Journal of Eastern Christian Studies Vol. 59 (2018) Nos. 1–4, pp. 263–275 The Monastic Life as Exegesis: The Hermeneutics of John Cassian in Conference 14 Thomas Deutsch Today, faith in the revelation of scripture is not a prerequi- site for becoming a successful scripture scholar. Although many contemporary scholars consider unbelief a prerequisite for analyzing and interpreting scriptures unbiasedly,1 the monk John Cassian (d. circa 435 C.E.) would see such lack of faith as detrimental to the entire process of understanding the scrip- tures. This divergence of opinion results in part because these contemporary scholars and Cassian view the end of scriptural interpretation differently. While a contemporary agnostic scholar strives in his or her exegetical work primarily for eru- dition, originality, and positive peer reception, Cassian wants to unlock the meaning of scriptures for the sake of living a life of unceasing prayer and encounter with God. 1 D.Z. Phillips describes the hermeneutical situation today in terms of a false dichotomy between a hermeneutics of recollection, which presupposes belief on the part of the interpreter in the religious texts being analyzed, and a her- meneutics of suspicion, which sees the unbelief of the interpreter as his or her greatest tool for accessing the meaning of the religious text, since the re- ligious worldview of the text hides or warps the truth of the text. As a middle position between these two extremes, Phillips offers the hermeneutic of con- templation, which allows the interpreter to accept the religious worldview of sacred texts for the purpose of interpretation without actually believing in the worldview presupposed by the text.

  • Louise De Marillac and the Spirituality of the Daughters of Charity
    Vincentiana, July-September 2012 Louise de Marillac and the Spirituality of the Daughters of Charity Meeting of Provincial Directors Sr. Antoinette Marie Hance, D.C. Introduction Louise de Marillac is an extraordinary woman and a great mystic, and to speak of her and her spirituality is, in a certain sense, to marvel anew at God’s loving plan for humanity, for the Church, for persons living in poverty, and for God’s preference for the lowly and humble of heart. Yes, God always surprises us, and in taking a new look at the life of Louise de Marillac, and dwelling on the spirituality shared with the fi rst Sisters, we see how God constantly borrows from our ways to reveal His love. I’m going to begin by letting St. Vincent speak. On July 24, 1660, two months before his death, he exhorted the fi rst Sisters as follows: “Sisters, after the example of your good mother, take the resolution to work at becoming holy and to detach yourselves from what displeases God in you” 1 . “After the example of your good Mother”. I think that looking at Louise to learn from her how to work at making ourselves holy according to God’s plan for us, and to detach ourselves from what displeases God, is characteristic of a spirituality: proposing a special path of holiness, a particular way of following Christ. The 350th anniversary of the deaths of Vincent de Paul and Louise de Marillac was certainly a special opportunity to discover Louise or to get to know her better.

  • January Menaion
    Byzantine Monthly Menaion Volume Five: January Metropolitan Cantor Institute Byzantine Catholic Seminary Pittsburgh, PA Foreword A Menaion is a liturgical book which contains the changeable parts of Byzantine divine services for a given month. The volume in your hands is the fourth of a series of twelve books for use in Byzantine Catholic parishes. Each day is provided with the following material: (1) Synaxarion (brief life of the saints remembered) (2) Troparia and Kontakia (3) Prokeimena and Alleluiaria (4) Communion Hymn. On major feasts, the proper antiphons (when there are any) and the Magnification and Irmos (appointed to take the place of It is truly proper) are also included. Texts which are contained in the Faithful’s Book published by the Byzantine Catholic Church are reproduced with their musical settings from that book. Those texts were translated by the Inter-Eparchial Liturgical Commission, and then set to plainchant by the Inter-Eparchial Music Commission. Many of the Troparia contained in this volume of the Menaion are, in fact, common texts (i.e., they are used on more than one feast). These texts, too, come from the work of the IELC/IEMC, as are all the Prokeimena and Alleluiaria and Communion Hymns. The texts of the Troparia and Kontakia that are not from the above-mentioned source are almost always taken from the Order of Matins published by the Sisters of the Order of Saint Basil the Great, and we acknowledge these texts with gratitude. This volume is intended to be used annually. Because of this, cantors must use the Typikon of the Metropolitan Church to discern how materials from the Menaion are to be combined with the Sunday Ochtoechos.

  • Dominican Spirituality
    OurLadyoftheHolyRosaryProvince,OP DOMINICAN SPIRITUALITY Principles and Practice By WILLIAM A. HINNEBUSCH, O.P. Illustrations by SISTER MARY OF THE COMPASSION, O.P. http://www.domcentral.org/trad/domspirit/default.htm DOMINICANSPIRITUALITY 1 OurLadyoftheHolyRosaryProvince,OP FOREWORD Most of this book originated in a series of conferences to the Dominican Sisters of the Congregation of the Most Holy Cross, Amityville, New York, at Dominican Commercial High School, Jamaica, L. I., during the Lent of 1962. All the conferences have been rewritten with some minor deletions and the addition of considerable new material. The first chapter is added as a general introduction to Dominican life to serve as a unifying principle for the rest of the book. I have also adapted the material to the needs of a wider reading audience. No longer do I address the sister but the Dominican. While some matter applies specifically to nuns or sisters, the use of masculine nouns and pronouns elsewhere by no means indicates that I am addressing only the members of the First Order. Though the forms and methods of their spiritual life vary to some degree ( especially that of the secular tertiary), all Dominicans share the same basic vocation and follow the same spiritual path. I must thank the sisters of the Amityville community for their interest in the conferences, the sisters of Dominican Commercial High School for taping and mimeographing them, the fathers and the sisters of other Congregations who suggested that a larger audience might welcome them. I am grateful to the fathers especially of the Dominican House of Studies, Washington, D.

  • Taught by God: Teaching and Spiritual Formation by Karen-Marie Yust and E
    For published version: See Interpreation 61 (3): 350. Taught by God: Teaching and Spiritual Formation by Karen-Marie Yust and E. Byron Anderson, Chalice Press, St. Louis, 2006. Pp. 186. $21.99. ISBN 0827236492. Religious educators need a vibrant spiritual life. This seems obvious but it is easy to overlook. When we think about education, we immediately think about our own schooling where we were required to regurgitate information. We do not think about deeper dimensions of formation and what this demands of the teacher. But “can we teach Christians to pray,” authors Karen-Marie Yust and E. Byron Anderson stress again and again, “if we ourselves do not know a life of prayer?” (p. 19). Taught by God is designed to address this oversight. It retrieves a rich variety of paths to Christian wisdom. In fact, a more accurate subtitle is “Spiritual Resources for Religious Educators.” Organized around a four-part exploration of teacher identity, teaching context, models, and evaluation, the book essentially reviews a series of classical texts (Luther, Kierkegaard, Julian of Norwich, John Cassian, Jane de Chantal, Francis de Sales, Anthony, John Bunyan, John Climacus, Thomas à Kempis, Benedict, Catherine of Siena, Diadochos, Ignatius, Henri Nouwen, and Simon Weil) as well as contemporary educational theorists, such as Parker Palmer and Mary Belenky. The summaries of primary texts and secondary source commentary on them makes for dry reading, a problem “easily rectified,” Yust and Anderson say, “through further reading” of the classics (p. 5). Reading this book alongside sample works would enhance its value. Unfortunately the advice of many of these figures stands at real odds with the lives of the book’s likely readers.

  • Vincentian II
    Topic 20: Vincentian Spirituality: Practical Charity, Part 2 Overview: St. Louise de Marillac became a companion to St. Vincent. They complemented each other with two very different personalities and skill-sets. Louise was the head person while Vincent was the heart person. What they shared in common was conversion of heart that came through the experience of the poor. Together, they founded of the Daughters of Charity, a radical break with previous forms of religious life for women. The Daughters became “Nuns in the World,” and they became the model for all subsequent forms of active religious life for women. Elizabeth Ann Seton brought the spirit and way of life of Vincent and Louise to America. She founded the Sisters of Charity, who expressed the virtue of charity through education, especially of the poor, ignorant, and immigrants. Louise de Marillac • Louise came into Vincent’s life after his conversion. • Louise’s early life was troubled. She never knew her mother. Her health was fragile. Her husband died in 1625 after a prolonged illness. The limitations of her childhood were always a source of anguish for her. This series of experiences plunged her into a dark night of the soul. • Vincent became a spiritual guide for her in dealing with her discouragement. Her friendship and collaboration with Vincent became a healing force in her life. Vincent was always there to support her through trials and tribulations. • Vincent helped her to become less reasoned and more spontaneous. • Her service to the poor and involvement with the Confraternities of Charity gradually cured her depressed spirit.
