DIVINIZATION IN THE RULE OF BENEDICT AND IN LATER BENEDICTINE SPIRITUALITY
The notion of “divinization” has traditionally been associated with Eastern Christian spiritual theology, particularly the Byzantine understandings of the sacraments and spiritual progress. In the light of the Incarnation of Christ at Christmas we will discover during this workshop how both the Rule of Benedict and the writings of Benedictine contemplative writers reflect this ancient tradition; and we will reflect together on how this can enrich the lives of those who are interested in the Benedictine Way.
Father Luke Dysinger has been a monk of Valyermo since 1976. He is a priest and a physician who writes and teaches in the fields of mystical theology and biomedical ethics.
