SUMMARY:Sacred Study Circle\, Introduction to the Devout Life by St. Francis de Sales
DESCRIPTION:Sacred study is the prayerful and attentive reading of a work with the initial goal of understanding it\, the intermediate goal of reflectively appropriating it\, and the final goal of making its teaching concrete in a life devoted to God. Sacred study is study because it puts ques­tions to the text\, as an apprentice questions the master\, so as to come to grips with the deeper meanings. With these aims we will study St. Francis de Sales’s Introduction to the Devout Life this winter quarter. In this classic work of spirituality the reader is presented with counsels and practices to aid him in deepening his hunger for God while overcoming the obstacles that impede his progress in moral integrity and spiritual wisdom. \nThe Sacred Study Circle will meet weekly\, covering a minimal amount of text each week. Fr. Paul Mankowski\, S.J.\, scholar-in-residence at the Lumen Christi Institute\, will guide participants in a reflective discussion of the text. Each session will meet at Gavin House\, 1220 East 58th Street on Mondays from 4-5PM. While participants are encouraged to attend every session\, this is not required. Copies of the book will be provided. We will be using the 400th Anniversary Edition\, Eremitical Press\, 2009. \nREGISTER HERE\nSchedule \nJanuary 14: Counsels concerning the soul’s first aspiration to the devout life.\n(Pt.1\, Ch.6-22\, pp.26-51) \nJanuary 21: Counsels concerning the soul’s firm resolution to pursue the devout life.\n(Pt.2\, Ch.1-9\, pp.55-66) \nJanuary 28: Counsels concerning the practice of virtue.\n(Pt.3.\, Ch.1-5\, pp.91-106\,119-126) \nFebruary 4: Counsels concerning poverty of spirit amid riches.\n(Pt.3\, Ch.14-16\, 37-38\, pp.127-133\, 175-178) \nFebruary 11: Counsels concerning true and false friendship.
