DYA Study Day: Understanding the Emotions
About the day
What do our emotions have to do with holiness? Are our feelings something to control, overcome, or simply accept? Join us for a day exploring the Thomistic understanding of the passions — the emotions and movements of our human nature. We’ll discover why our emotions are not a distraction from the Christian life, but an important part of what it means to be human. And what better way to understand them than by looking to Christ himself? What did Jesus experience when he became angry, sorrowful, or joyful?
The day will include Mass, talks and workshops, prayer, fellowship and discussion, and lunch will be provided. There is no cost to attend, but registration is essential.
Speakers
Dominican Sisters of St Joseph
Who is it for?
