Vatican II’s Wisdom for Spiritual Living

Vatican II gave the Catholic Church new ways of worshipping, of celebrating the sacraments, and of understanding Church teachings — but it also provides us with wonderful insights into the spiritual life. Contrary to the popular idea that Vatican II represented an innovation, the Council’s spiritual wisdom actually has deep roots in the Bible and early Church history. This weekend will explore what Vatican II has to say to us about spirituality, with an emphasis on the concept of a universal call to holiness, for all the faithful: laypeople as well as religious and ordained persons. Friday: We’ll take a tour of the key elements of Vatican II spirituality with an emphasis on nine “invitations” that Vatican II offers the people of God. Saturday: We’ll take a deeper dive, looking at topics such as the Bible, the centrality of Jesus, the ministry of all people, and the relationship between the Church and the world. There will be opportunities for prayer and meditation as well as conversation and shared reflection. Bring a notebook and be prepared to let the wisdom of the council inspire your heart!
