Lenten Season Book Discussion
Feb 9th, 2010 by Office Manager
As we approach and enter the Lenten season, join us for a weekly discussion group on the book “Way of the Ascetics” by Tito Colliander. This work is a rich, compact introduction for modern readers to the Eastern Christian spiritual tradition that has been an inspiration to millions for centuries. These compassionate and insightful reflections on self-control and inner peace are meant to lead the readers to fuller union with God. The author makes a generous selection of succinct yet profound extracts from the spiritual Fathers and provides an illuminating commentary and practical applications for daily devotion. He tempers austerity with common sense, warmth, and even humor, as he urges us on our journey toward God. Written for laypersons living fully in the world as much as for clergy, “Way of the Ascetics” is an excellent resource for daily meditation, authentic spiritual guidance, and a revitalized religious life.
This group is open to ALL who are interested. It will meet every Thursday evening from 7:30pm-8:30pm beginning February 11th. For more information, contact Fr. David at frdavid@pittsburghoratory.org
