A RHYTHM OF PRAYER THAT LEADS TO GOD: Contemplative Liturgy in the Early Monastic Tradition
The principal sources of contemplative prayer in the early Church were the Scriptures and the sacred liturgy, where the Scriptures are transformed into poetry and song. In this workshop we will seek to rediscover in liturgical prayer our capacity to both delight in and to reverence the mystery of the God of Love. Readings from early monastic sources will be provided and participants will be encouraged to share the liturgy of the hours with the monastic community.
Father Luke Dysinger has been a monk of Valyermo since 1980. He is a priest and a physician who writes and teaches in the fields of mystical theology and biomedical ethics. He earned a Ph.D. at Oxford University and currently teaches at St. John's Seminary in Camarillo, CA as well as online courses.
