LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

I received terrific news this week from Dan Burke, Founder and President of Catholic Spiritual Direction. The opportunity described below is perfect for serious Catholics who are wanting to seek advanced faith formation.

It is with great enthusiasm that we announce a new endeavor to help God’s faithful to find the path that the Lord has prepared to a life changing relationship with Him, the School of Spiritual Formation.

Dan Burke, Founder and President of Catholic Spiritual Direction, the Avila Institute for Spiritual Formation, will teach this first class in the School of Spiritual Formation. All classes will be offered live/online so anyone anywhere can join in. Also, these classes are suitable for those who have little time or inclination for graduate level studies but who still crave the insights that flow from the hearts of the saints on the topic of prayer and spiritual growth.

During the first course, Navigating the Interior Life – Foundations of Prayer and Union with God, Dan will reveal a panoramic view of the breadth and beauty of Catholic prayer tradition from the inception of prayer to the heights of contemplation. The course will cover:

How to know God and His love in prayer

How to grow deeper in prayer and relationship with God

How to overcome obstacles to growth in prayer

How to identify and avoid false teachings on prayer

Forms of prayer in the Catholic Tradition

Vocal Prayer

Meditation (Dan will teach a specific approach in this course)

Contemplation (including St. Teresa of Avila’s stages of prayer from the Interior Castle)
