Loving Prayer – God in the World

· Leave a comment ·

“Dear friends, let’s love each other, because love is from God, and everyone who loves is born from God and knows God. The person who doesn’t love does not know God, because God is love. This is how the love of God is revealed to us: God has sent his only Son into the world so that we can live through him. This is love: it is not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son as the sacrifice that deals with our sins.

~I John: 4:7-10

As we finish with St. Francis of Assisi and his influence on the church, our class will begin to discuss the Desert Fathers and Mothers and the beginnings of monasticism. As we go through these teachings, we will discuss how the Christian Disciplines, monasticism, and mysticism grew from these Christian Leaders.

  • Definition of Desert and what it means to live in wild places
  • To Love as God Loves by Roberta Bondi will be the book we will focus on during the summer of 2016. Please order from City Lights Bookstore or your local independent bookseller. Love your community too!
