Walk With Jesus: Stations of the Cross

NOUWEN, HENRI

Through 12 fascinating and spiritually edifying conferences, you will spend prayerful time with Jesus Christ, using the Gospel according to Luke. Your guide is scripture expert Fr. Felix Just, S.J. (Ph.D., Yale University). Luke's Gospel presents a distinctive portrait of Jesus. In Luke, the Holy Spirit guides all the action and empowers the life and ministry of Jesus. Luke's Jesus is the Lord of all nations and the Savior of all peoples; so also, disciples are called to be just like Jesus, embracing all people regardless of social status, loving enemies, welcoming strangers, praising God, and praying for forgiveness. This audio retreat program combines an insightful examination of Luke's Gospel with three methods of biblical prayer--reflective meditation, imaginative contemplation, and centering prayer--to help you grow in your relationship with Jesus. You can use this program in individual or small group settings, and it fits into a variety of schedules. If you are looking for a thoughtful and uplifting biblical retreat to deepen your relationship with Jesus, you will love A Retreat with the Gospel of Luke. You will treasure the time spent each day with the Gospel of Luke and Fr. Felix Just.

Letting God's Spirit Shape All Our Actions: A Retreat with Luke's Gospel

You are no doubt familiar with beloved spiritual master Henri Nouwen, who published forty highly influential books during his lifetime. Now you can glean additional insights from three edifying Nouwen works published posthumously. Each session was carefully prepared by Dr. Michael Christensen, an award-winning professor of Christian ministry and practice, and Dr. Rebecca Laird, who was Nouwen's student at Yale Divinity School. Each volume of The Nouwen Trilogy collects Nouwen's unpublished homilies, interviews, classes, and speeches, as well as excerpts from his published writings. Editing these works into a definitive guide to the Christian life, Drs. Christensen and Laird memorialize his popular teachings. Spiritual Formation: Following the Movements of the Spirit is part of this trilogy. Available for the first time in audio format, these convenient sessions move you through the five stages of spiritual development: awakening, purgation, illumination, dark night, and unification.

Spiritual Formation: Following the Movements of the Spirit

As we enter into a period marked by the science of evolution, global consciousness, technological connectedness, and religious pluralism, the question of Christian life is more urgent now than ever before. Does Christian life make a difference? Or is it simply a program of duties and obligations, a life that anticipates an otherworldly heaven? In these talks, you will explore the heart of Christian life as an adventure in love. You will begin with a discussion of God, who calls us into life. What is God and who is God as Trinity? How is the new creation story today, especially through the lens of evolution, helping us to see the triune God in a new way? Professor Delio will highlight the centrality of the cross as the mark of Christian life that sets it apart from other religions. Professor Delio will then turn your focus to Christian life as a spiritual life, asking questions such as these: How does the Gospel help shape spirituality? What is the place of sin and conversion? You will examine a spirituality of transformation through the cross, using the lens of Franciscan spirituality, and explore the relationship between contemplation and compassion as the deepening of love. The final section will take up a challenging question: Where is Christian life going as the dawn of a new age draws upon us? This Christian adventure in love is an invitation to live a Christian life as the way to proclaim it.

New Testament: A Bible Study Course

King S.J., Nicholas

This course will give you a deeper appreciation of the sky and our ever-growing understanding of astronomy. Your guide for this journey through the cosmos is Dr. Guy Consolmagno, a Jesuit brother, renowned astronomer, and director of the Vatican's astronomical observatory. In his engaging lectures, you'll deepen your sense of joy as you gaze at the stars and appreciate the profound achievements of their Creator. Astronomy is something everyone can do: it takes no special equipment or deep education to look at the sky. But you first need to know what to look for. With this in mind, Dr. Consolmagno will teach you how to view the sky yourself, recognizing its rhythms and regularities. You will then explore how professional astronomers and Scripture have understood the stars. As you navigate our solar system and other galaxies, you will reflect on the meaning of dark energy, dark matter, and the dark skies themselves. Through all this, you will enrich your prayer life. These talks are not a mere recitation of facts but rather a reminder that, like the stars above, you too are a brilliant and living part of this remarkable universe. By learning how God has created this universe, you will grow closer to the Father of all the universe--the One we call Our Father.
