my friend I say everything” (see John 15:15)

September-October
2014 : 4 Saturdays
Since
2007 many people in London have been attending the First Level
Course, "Initiation into Spiritual Life". As a result, many
have been encouraged to use their Bible more fervently and to
practise Lectio
Divina.
However, support is still needed as finding "food" in the
Bible is not an easy task. This is why the "Intermediate 1
Course" is about deepening the
relationship between the "Bible" and our "Spiritual
Life":
in a word, it aims at helping us view the Bible as the source of our
daily nourishment.
What
makes this course unique is, first, the choice of topics (important,
"juicy" and rarely addressed topics) and, secondly,
relating them to our Spiritual Life! As always, Our Lady
continues to lead us on our journey.
A
Certificate will be awarded to all those who attend the entire four
days.
The dates are: Sat 27th
Sept, Sat 4th Oct, Sat 18th Oct, Sat 25th Oct,
from 10.00 am to 4:30 pm. Venue: St Mary of the Angels Parish
hall, Moorhouse Road, W2 5DJ, Notting Hill. Spaces are limited for
this course. The
cost is £ 25.00 per day. Should there be any places
remaining, we can accept those who did not follow the First Level
Course.
To secure your place, a
non-refundable deposit of £ 50.00 should be paid by cheque or bank
transfer. Please send an email or call to confirm payment. Email:

The
