Consecration to St. Joseph
St Josemaria Escriva said "Saint Joseph. One cannot love Jesus and Mary without loving the Holy Patriarch."
What is Consecration to St Joseph?
According to Fr Calloway, MIC, to be consecrated to St Joseph means that you "acknowledge him as your spiritual father, and that you want to be like him. To show it, you entrust yourself entirely into his paternal care so that he can help you acquire his virtues and become holy... St Joseph, in turn, will give those consecrated to him his undivided attention, protection, and guidance."
We will meet every other Sunday beginning March 29th and the consecration day will be on May 1st. Please open the RSVP form and read the introduction for more information!
Nova Forum Seminar: Poetry, Attention, and Joy
For our final seminar this year, we turn to T.S. Eliot’s beautiful and profound poem, Four Quartets, in dialogue with an essay by philosopher Simone Weil.
How can poetry respond to the “wasteland” of our fragmented and alienated culture? What virtues of attention and memory do we need to rediscover? How do Christian prayer—and university studies—both require the virtue of attention? Join us for our final conversation!
