The Sacrament of the Present Moment

Speaker: William J. Dohar, Ph.D.

The Jesuit mystic, Jean-Pierre de Caussade wrote that the sacrament of the present moment is “full of infinite treasures. It contains far more than you have the capacity to hold.” What happens when we wake up to this present moment? How can it be sacramental? How does God become manifest? And what of us--do we linger and ‘wait for the grace’ or check our watches and flee the moment? This workshop is devoted to the practice of the present moment and perhaps finding a glimpse of those treasures God is offering us. Through spiritual exercises, short presentations and group discussion, we’ll learn from each other and from the Spirit dwelling among us when we gather to pray.
