Silent Day of Reflection on Carmelite Spirituality Prayer Beyond the Beginnings: Journey to Divine Intimacy with St. Teresa Sister Leslie Lund, OCDH
This Day of Reflection will focus on Jesus as contemplative and mystic, what He says about prayer, how He prayed, and what Scripture and St. Teresa teach about God’s desire to enter into spousal intimacy with every person. Sister Leslie will use St. Teresa’s Interior Castle, especially the third and fourth dwelling places, because of her desire that Christians move towards this Divine intimacy in contemplative prayer.
$40 per person ($50 with the use of a private room for the day.) This Day of Prayer is silent.
