Quiet Saturday: September 11, 2014
Br. Ignatius, OFM, will talk first about lectio divina, an ancient way of praying with Scripture. In this ‘holy reading’ we pay attention to the words and images that catch our heart, while attending to what God might want to say to us.
His second talk, visio divina, will be about ‘holy looking’, a way of praying with an object of art, a religious object, or with nature. There will be an opportunity for prayer with both lectio and visio divina.
Led by Br. Ignatius Feaver, OFM Cap., a trained spiritual director and a member of the Capuchin Order for fifty years. Br Ignatius has conducted numerous retreats and workshops in Franciscan Spirituality. He studied studio art at the Toronto School of Art and maintains his own studio. His current interest is in the visual arts as an entrance into contemplative prayer. Visit the Capuchin of Central Canada website here »
