Most Catholics in the Western Tradition don’t realize they are missing out on a huge part of their own spiritual inheritance. Catholic Spirituality is a nearly 2000-year-old tree with deep, deep roots and a richness far beyond what we are normally taught. In this unique time, we are being challenged to live a more deeply-rooted spiritual life. Unearthing our own rich inheritance may give us the very guides and tools needed to respond to that challenge.

BRIEF OVERVIEW:

• St. John Cassian is often called the founder of Western (Roman) Monastic Way of Life.
• We as Catholics are always encouraged to look towards the Monastic life in order to understand our own prayer lives and spiritual journeys.
• St John Cassian is eminently practical in his spiritual counsels:
• Instead of abstract concepts on prayer, he teaches us how to get there through specific fasting.
• He teaches us the remedies for the Vices so we can grow and learn from the wisdom of the Early Church.
• Come learn about the Spiritual Tradition which is yours by your Baptism.
