Everyday Spirituality: Living the Ordinary Extraordinarily (Wil Hernandez, PhD)


According to Henri Nouwen, “to live in the present, we must believe deeply that what is most important is the here and now” and, thus, “we must learn to live each day, each hour, yes, each minute as a new beginning, as a unique opportunity to make everything new.” Employing Nouwen’s rich insights into our spiritual life in conversation with the core features of both Benedictine and Ignatian spirituality, we will examine during this weekend retreat more closely how the ordinariness of our daily existence can be lived out extraordinarily when we learn to be truly present in the moment.
