Benedicta Institute for Women Week-Long Immersive: The Dignity of Dust: Contemplating our HumanityTheme: God and the Human Person (3 equivalency credits)
According to the timeless ancient axiom, agere sequitur esse – “doing follows being.” In order to know how to act, we first must know who we are. This course asks the question, “Who is the human being?” Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross and Caryll Houselander are two prominent twentieth-century Catholic women who offer sustained reflection on this vital question. By exploring their enlightening lives and writings, students will encounter the truth, goodness and beauty of the meaning of being human.
Instructor: Dr. Donald Wallenfang, OCDS
We will also be joined by Program Leader, Johnnette Benkovic Williams, Founder and President of Women of Grace and the Benedicta Institute for Women.
Spend Friday, October 18th at the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Hanceville, AL. Courses for the morning will be held in the castle, followed by the rosary with the nuns, Mass, adoration, Stations of the Cross, JPII Center tour, and gift shop visit. Transportation and lunch will be provided.
Limited financial aid is available. To Inquire, please call 800-885-5452.
The mission of the Women of Grace® Benedicta Institute for Women® is to educate, develop, and train Catholic women to be leaders and mentors of the day by way of the Feminine Genius and their gift of spiritual maternity.
The purpose of Certification in Catholic Women’s Leadership through the Benedicta Institute for Women® is found in the Institute’s motto, agere sequitur esse (doing follows being). The woman who receives the Certification in Catholic Women’s Leadership will be formed and shaped according to the heart and mind of Holy Mother Church in the fullness of the Feminine Genius, the Blessed Virgin Mary. Through the spiritual and leadership formation provided, she will be imbued with the Marian character, confidence, and skill to bring Jesus Christ to the world and the world to Jesus Christ, no matter her position or state in life. In so doing, she will do much to “aid humanity in not falling” and to create a civilization of love.
