Discernment and Spiritual Direction

This course offers a theological exploration of apostolic spirituality in terms of its three-fold dynamic as conversion, commitment and communion. The apostolic orientation of each dynamic is considered from its biblical foundations, subsequent historical developments and its various anthropological, Christological, ecclesiological, sacramental and eschatological aspects. Since apostolic spirituality seeks to encounter God who labors in every person and in everything, the course concludes with a strategy of discernment to help persons grow as a contemplative in action today.
