   Missionary Disciples - Lecture 3, with Fr Philip Suelzer

   This week we conclude the lecture series on 'Missionary Disciples' from Fr Philip Suelzer CSJ. Here's how he described his lecture series in 2020: "To be a disciple of Christ is to be sent on mission. In these lectures we will look at what it means to follow Christ wholeheartedly. We will look at the obstacles that may hold us back and see if we can get these out of the way (with the grace of God!). We will also dive in to our call to be missionaries. What is our mission? Each one of us has a personal calling to bring the gospel to others. We will look at how we can be intentional about evangelizing and creating a culture of mission." ---------- Join us here every week as we delve into the archives of Hearts Aflame Catholic Summer School, sharing lectures and talks on Catholic theology, philosophy, and spirituality.

   Contemporary Catholic Fiction - Lecture with Sam Harris

   The lecture this week is a special topic which we don't often hear at Hearts Aflame (or anywhere): Catholic Fiction. Sam Harris gave this lecture series titled 'Clothing Mystery in Words: How Contemporary Catholic Fiction Helps Us Live and Love' at the 2019 Summer School. Here's how he described it: "'The Church needs artists,' said poet, playwright and pontiff Pope St John Paul II. “Every human being thirsts for the infinite, and art is one of the ways that lead him to it.” In these lectures we’ll begin with a brief look at how the Church has always prized good art. Then we’ll focus on contemporary literature: we’ll define today’s “Catholic fiction” and discuss how Catholic writers in the twenty-first century go about “grasping treasures from the heavenly realm of the spirit and clothing them in words ... - making them accessible,” as Pope St Paul VI put it. We’ll read some excerpts from recent novels and short stories and discuss how good Catholic fiction can be an important part of our efforts to deepen our faith, can aid our prayer, and can help us hear and follow our call as we walk with Christ into the infinite mystery of God’s love and mercy." ---------- Join us here every week as we delve into the archives of Hearts Aflame Catholic Summer School, sharing lectures and talks on Catholic theology, philosophy, and spirituality.

   Discernment - Fr Robin Koning

   As we move towards the end of the year, 'discernment' is often something on our minds. What will I do next year? What is God calling me to? Should I take this job? Is it God's will that I make this change? In today's talk from 2019, Fr Robin Koning looks at how an Ignatian approach to discernment can help us with these questions. ---------- #For30Years Hearts Aflame's mission has been to develop and foster authentic relationship with Jesus Christ and His Holy Catholic Church.
