EXPERIENCING LITURGY AS CONTEMPLATIVE PRAYER

Friday, December 10, 2021- Sunday, December 12, 2021 

Beginning in the fourth century Christian teachers increasingly emphasized the twin roles of sacred scripture and liturgy as the pri-mary sources of contemplative prayer. In the workshop we will study of ancient, medieval, and modern spiritual authors who encourage us to experience sacred liturgy as a spiritual ascent towards intimate union with Jesus Christ.
