Spirituality and the Two Halves of Life
A DVD series with Fr. Ron Rolheiser
Growth and discipleship have two distinct parts. We leave home
at an early age and spend many years trying to find our way back. How do we
get back home again? That's the spiritual task for the first half of life.
But, where do we go and what do we do once we've returned home?
That's the spirituality for the second half of life. No matter which half of
life you're in, you'll gain new insights with this renowned author, teacher
and theologian.
This captivating presentation outlines in an accessible and
highly motivating way the invitations we receive throughout our life. This
2-hour DVD is best presented as a half-day retreat, or two 2-hour sessions,
in order that participants have the opportunity to reflect on the insights
and challenges offered by one of Canada’s most popular speakers on the
subject of Christian spirituality and faith. Handouts with prepared questions
for reflection are provided, and participants are encouraged to share their
response to this presentation in small group discussions.
