A Giving Life

Event Details

In this series of five evenings, we will prayerfully probe the daring and hope-filled book by the late Catholic theologian Monika K. Hellwig, Guests of God: Stewards of Divine Creation. Written in 1999, her words echo into the present with deep awareness of the challenging life of faith to be lived in our neighborhoods and communities. How are Christians and people of good will—where we live now—working together in God’s world to meet the needs of the poor and the earth?  How can we imagine together a new agency as the body of Christ for our times?

Through reading, reflecting, and faith-sharing we will be inspired to see with new eyes, reflect on new ways, and choose to act wisely as ‘Guests of God’ for the communities and neighborhoods where we live. Hellwig invites us to hear God’s call for deeper conversion and to live with deeper awareness and agency as ‘Guests of God’ for the common good.

FACILITATOR

Lucie Leduc works and ministers as an educator, retreat facilitator, spiritual director, and writer, along with her primary role and responsibility as Executive Director for The Star of the North Retreat House. Her twenty-five years of experience in Oblate retreat ministry and thirteen years as a Spiritual Director, have been years of privileged journeying, learning, and growing with others towards mature Christian spirituality and faith.

Raised and committed in the Roman Catholic tradition, her Christian formation has come through formative family and religious relations, as well as studies at Oblate School of Theology in San Antonio, Texas with an M.A. in Spirituality, and at Newman Theological College, Edmonton, with a variety of M.Div. courses. She received her BEd at the University of Alberta with a major in English and minor in Moral and Religious Education. Much of her faith and spirit were shaped as an Oblate Associate journeying with Oblates and Oblate Associates in the family of St. Eugene de Mazenod.
