Midday Retreat with the Mystics
Mystic for November: St. Teresa of Avila
Saturday, November 16, 2024
St. Joseph’s Seminary
201 Seminary Avenue
Yonkers, NY 10704
So many in our busy and hectic world today feel the need for prayerful silence and interior recollection. But it’s hard to get away to a monastery! So we’ll be offering an oasis of contemplation at St. Joseph’s Seminary, learning from the great Saints and mystics of the Church and through their guidance entering into prayer.
St. Joseph’s Seminary will be offering a “Midday Retreat with the Mystics” the 3rd Saturday of every other month. Each month will showcase the spiritual teaching of one particular Saint or mystic. We will sit at their feet and allow them to help draw us into the riches of the spiritual life and into the depths of God.
Fr. Ignatius John Schweitzer, O.P. will give a talk on the spiritual life based on the doctrine of the mystic of the month. Then we will have Eucharistic Exposition with periods of silence, along with some guided meditations based on the holy person we are highlighting that day. There will also be the opportunity to be prayed over and anointed with the Oil of St. Elizabeth of the Trinity, beseeching the Lord for graces of deeper prayer. We’ll go 12 to 3pm but feel free to leave as you need to.
Schedule
11:00am Mass (optional)
12:00pm Conference Talk (on the particular Saint chosen for that day)
1:00-3:00pm Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament (with periods of silence and guided meditations from the Saint)

OUR SPEAKERS
This conference reassesses the theological and historical dynamics of the Council of Nicaea (325), moving beyond the oversimplified “Arian crisis” narrative. Drawing primarily on contemporary sources, it situates the controversy within the diverse theological legacy of Origen and highlights three competing explanations of the Son’s origin.
Join us in-person or via Zoom on Thursday, November 20 at 7 PM. Register here.
Presented by Samuel Fernández, Facultad de Teología de la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile.
