Oak Park Deanery Lenten Series:
Spiritual Rules of Life in a Workaday World
|
A rule of life is an aid to mindful daily spirituality. Some people have very complicated rules, such as praying five times a day, reading the Bible meditatively for one hour each day (Lectio Divina), or saying Morning and Evening Prayer daily. Others may have simpler or looser guideline, such as pausing to meditate several times a day, turning their attention to God's presence in nature for a few minutes each day, or playing or listening to music connects them with the divine.
For five Thursdays in Lent, the Oak Park Deanery will welcome excellent speakers, each of whom has some association with a religious order and practices a rule - or perhaps just an approach - to the spiritual life each day.
A full schedule is available at this link.
