Marriage in the Lord:
Poured Out for Love

 

Two New Audio Sets from Deacon James Keating, Ph.D

Marriage in the Lord: Poured out for Love

Deacon Keating explores the theological and spiritual meaning of the Sacrament of Marriage. Using the Catechism of the Catholic Church as a touchstone, Deacon Keating challenges listeners to go to the depths of what it means to be married in the Lord.

In this series of 8 talks on 4 discs, listeners will:

  • Learn that Catholic marriage offers much more than simply the “spiritualization” of what the state calls legal marriage;
  • Understand this sacrament carries the force of divine love;
  • Experience the adventure of man and wife dying to selfishness in the face of faithful love;
  • Discover how two hearts are formed and made holy in the self-sacrifice that is their mutual self-giving in Christ;
  • And much more!

Marriage in the Lord: Poured out for Love is perfect for married couples and those preparing for marriage!

Communion with Christ:
Practical Prayer

 

Communion with Christ: Practical Prayer

In this series of CDs, Deacon Keating looks at the foundations and dynamics of deep Christian prayer, with spiritual depth and theological richness. He leads listeners to communion and intimacy with God the Father through Christ and the Spirit.

In this series of 8 talks on 4 discs, you will:

  • Find practical advice on how to pray and how to sustain a prayer life;
  • Learn what to expect during prayer;
  • Discover how prayer is related to happiness and salvation;
  • Experience personal growth in your prayer life;
  • And much more!

Listening to Communion with Christ will itself be an occasion of prayer! Communion with Christ: Practical Prayer is perfect for personal use or in a small group setting.

 

About the Institute for Priestly Formation

The Institute for Priestly Formation was founded to assist bishops in the spiritual formation of diocesan seminarians and priests in the Roman Catholic Church.  The Institute responds to the need to foster spiritual formation as the integrating and governing principle of all aspects of priestly formation.  Inspired by the biblical-evangelical spirituality of Ignatius Loyola, this spiritual formation has as its goal the cultivation of a deep interior communion with Christ; from such communion the priest shares in Christ’s own pastoral charity.  In carrying out its mission, the Institute directly serves diocesan seminarians and priests as well as those who are responsible for diocesan priestly formation.

“A deep, quiet, rich wisdom flows from Dr. James Keating in this series Marriage in the Lord, Poured out for Love. Oh, if engaged and married couples everywhere would take the time to marinate in this wisdom, the world would be a different place. I will certainly be incorporating Dr. Keating’s insights into my future lectures.”
