Sacred Study and the Consecration of the Mind (Part 2) I Sr. Anna Wray, O.P.


Listen Later

This is the second of a two-part lecture series. Sister Anna Wray explores the nature of studying, distinguishing it from activities like spectating, memorizing, and puzzling. She explains how consecrated study differs from sacred study and offers guidance on surrendering the work of studying to God's action. She concludes with practical advice on cultivating discipline and delight in studying to facilitate surrender to the Holy Spirit.


This lecture was given on June 29th, 2024, at The Dominican House of Studies.
