The
School of Mary
Intermediate
Course First Level
Bible
and Spiritual Life
London
- September – November 2016
Lecturer
– Jean Khoury
Many
catholics are encouraged to use their Bible with fervour and to
practise Lectio Divina. This is not an easy task! It takes
time and practice! Support is needed as finding the Lord's light or
"our daily bread" in the Bible can be a challenge –
albeit very worthwhile.
This
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 (substantial
and rarely addressed topics) and, secondly, relating them to our
Spiritual Life!
As
always, Our Lady continues to lead us on our journey.
The
classes will take place on Wednesday from 10am – 12am
in the parish house of St. Mary of the Angels Catholic Church,
Moorhouse Road W2 5DJ. The entrance is located to the left of the
church entrance.
Everyone
is welcome to the course, also those who have not attended the First
Level Course as the material is enlightening in its own right.
Cost:
£120
