L.I.V.E. - Vacare Deo : Task and Fruit of Leisure
With Sr. Mary Forman, OSB
May 5, 2022
We will explore the meaning of sabbath, Benedict’s sense of leisure in lectioni vacare, human ambiguity about leisure time in Jewish texts and Christian experience, fear of quiet/emptiness, and fear of the unknown.
