Spiritual Commitment and Soul-Care – Fr Innocent Igbokwe, OCD

Saturday 4th June 2022 – 10am- 12 noon – in person lecture Boarshill

Make your home in me, as I make mine in you

John 15:4

Flame, living flame, compelling, yet tender past all telling, reaching the secret centre of my soul! Since now evasion’s over, finish your work, my Lover, break the last thread, wound me and make me whole!

St. John of the Cross


This weekend’s theme will explore the formational role of the evangelical counsels also known as the counsels of perfection (chastity, poverty and obedience; cf. Matthew 19:21) when lived according to one’s state in life; and propose fidelity to them as key in the strive to deepen one’s spiritual life in the midst of daily living. This accords with the Carmelite vision of everyday life lived in ‘union with God’ as within the reach of all. The importance of adopting, cultivating and nurturing essential dispositions that facilitate this life of intimacy with God that flows out to all will get highlighted.

Having explored these themes you will be become more sensitive to responding to the daily invitations to a deeper spiritual life; recognizing the road blocks to true peace of soul which arise from the depreciative thinking; be encouraged to create a personal contemplative lifestyle and soul-care plan that is centred on God; learn dispositions essential for maintaining contemplative awareness.

Registration includes:

• two hours of live presentation.
