BENEDICTINE MYSTICS AND CONTEMPLATIVES

November 21, 2025 @ 3:00 pm - November 23, 2025 @ 10:00 am

$333.00 – $532.00

 

The Benedictine monastic tradition offers a rich spectrum of Christian mystics and contemplative authors.  In this workshop the meanings of “mysticism” and “contemplation” will be explored through the lives and writings of Benedictine saints including: Pope Gregory the Great, Abbot Suger of Cluny, Hildegard of Bingen and Gertrude the Great, among others. Readings from monastic sources will be provided and participants will be encouraged to experience for themselves the contemplative rhythm of  monastic prayer by sharing in the liturgy of the hours with the monastic community.

 

Presenter: FR. LUKE DYSINGER, OSB, MD, DPhil, has been a monk of Saint Andrew’s Abbey since 1980.  He studied medicine at the University of Southern California and theology at the University of Oxford.  He is professor of moral theology and church history at Saint John’s Seminary in Camarillo, California and has published books and articles in the fields of bioethics, early Christian spirituality and patristics.
