Stipend: $20 (includes a refreshment break only)
The heart of the Christian vocation, whether religious or lay, is to become like Christ and to love as God loves, extravagantly and without condition. Carmelite Spirituality guides us along this well-worn path by encouraging us to ponder the mystery of divine-human friendship with a focus on scripture and special emphasos on the person of Christ. At its core, Carmelite Spirituality is a love story, a story of human desire, a desire not to be conquered or c ontrolled but rather to be transformed into the Will of God. This presentation will offer some basic tools necessary for traveling this ancient but ever new Carmelite Way.
