Topics include:
– Stages of spiritual development – purgative, illuminative and unitive
– Development in prayer – vocal prayer, meditation, contemplation
– Personal relationship with three Persons of Trinity
– Identifying misdirections in prayer and false mysticism

The participants will learn the foundational dynamics of spiritual direction through reading, lectures, and discussions. SD 1 will serve as a foundation for those who wish to continue learning the practice of spiritual direction. It is also a stand-alone course for those who wish to learn the “art of accompaniment”. The course consists of five hours of instruction per day for five days. Space is limited! Reserve early!

This course serves as an introduction to Sacramental Theology. It is theoretical and foundational in that it explores Sacramental Theology and thoroughly covers the teaching in Part II of the Catechism and the Second Vatican Council’s Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy. It is also practical and in depth in exploring such topics as the Liturgy of the East and West, the role of beauty (including art and music) in the Liturgy, the meaning of “full, active, conscious participation” in the Liturgy, and the Liturgy of the Hours. This course will consist of a weekly online lecture by video conference with mandatory participation as well as weekly videos provided by the Liturgical Institute to be watched individually. Students will be expected to make weekly discussion posts and respond to posts in addition to assessment by exam and a short paper. The course can be taken for credit towards a future degree or audited for personal enrichment.
