St Titus Brandsma Series

A New Online Spiritual Lecture Series
An exciting new opportunity for biblical and spiritual formation to suit all Christians – clergy, laity and the inquisitive

When Father Titus Brandsma was beatified, Pope Saint John Paul II referred to his “luminous smile,” suggesting that the Carmelite martyr possessed a radiant joy that defied his dark surroundings. This series of talks aims to help participants access the spiritual teachings and insights of Blessed Titus Brandsma so relevant for a world going through a difficult time.

The sessions will explore:

  • The spiritual sight and luminous life of St Titus
  • Review his courageous response to Nazi ideology
  • Consider how St Titus “answered hate with love,” sought to see the image of God in others, even his persecutors, and strove to be a “light in the murky night.”
  • Join us and be empowered by the insights of St Titus.
  • Do you wish to be nurtured by the word of God through Lectio divina?
  • Join us for this formative programme that promises to nurture the whole person – body, mind, soul, and spirit.
  • This series will be recorded and all who register will have access to the videos to view for 6 months.

have the courage to come in conflict with it.”
