What is your "Mission" in the Divine Will?
Learn how these Mystics who were given the "Gift",
discovered the purpose of their lives, and
lived it out while restoring all things in Christ.
Our Small Group Spiritual Formation
is now starting up this Fall again.
Therefore I wanted to alert everyone who would like to invite anyone who would to join or to continue studying and growing on the Spiritual Journey of Living in the Divine Will. I include the new brochure for the ongoing groups. The two-hour groups times are:
Tuesdays 2-4PM
EST for 10 weeks
Wednesdays 5-7PM
EST for 10 week
The “Exemplars of the Divine Will” Formation Groups are
available for anyone on a
1st come-1st serve basis
Registration Fee is $195
for 20 hours
per 10 week session.
Divine Will Group Spiritual Formation is defined by each individual’s relationship to Jesus, so it requires a different way of relating with each other. Members must desire to surrender their human will to God’s Divine Will, and to participate in the group through prayerful listening and response.
“Mystical Exemplars in the Divine Will” Formation Groups are designed to help foster each individual’s surrender into highest levels of the Divine Will. Members must desire to surrender their human will to God’s Divine Will, to participate in the group through prayerful listening and response and finally to allow the Holy Spirit to lead them into a deeper self knowledge and deeper prayer..
Who should try “Into The Deep” Group Formation Direction?
Individuals seeking to learn the science of the Living in the Gift of the Divine Will, and applying it to their personal lives.
Those who yearn to advance into the 4th Degree of Living in the Divine Will.
Those who are ready to discover how God has been preparing them their entire lives for the fullness of lfe in Him.
How does it work?
By combining the teachings by the mystical theologian Rev. Joseph Iannuzzi, with the tradition of the Catholic Church, some of the mystics of the 20th Century, and the knowledges offered by Jesus to Luisa Piccarreta, the Gift of Living in the Divine Will can be understood and practiced through prayerful and mystical disciplines in our everyday lives.
We all need to identify how the graces and the gifts, the wandering and the wounds that define our lives were all part of God’s Plan for you. Embracing our lives for Him, so that our surrender to Jesus and our Divine Will prayers allow the Holy Spirit, Jesus to form the Kingdom of the Divine Will in us. Group directees commit to a weekly meeting for 10 weeks, lasting 2 hours. Groups will meet virtually via Zoom.
What does it look like?
Divine Will Group Spiritual Formation sessions are flexible, but we like to start with this format:
1. Prayer in the Divine Will for the session.
2. A period of questions and or personal comments,
3. Using the Interior Castle and passages from St. John of the Cross & other Carmelite saints, we will be exploring the higher forms of prayer and the spiritual growth the Lord desires as preparation for living in the 4th Degree.
4. The group listens prayerfully without interruption together for God’s response to the readings.
5. Response – The group shares comments or questions. The facilitator will then lead the discussion which may be followed by a prayer.
6. Silence – The group practices a period of mental prayer for deeper understanding and reception of God’s grace.
The group closes by reflecting on their time together.
