We all need formation in the spiritual life, and one of the most important ways to be formed is intellectually. Even if you’re not going to be a theology professor, God reveals himself in some profound ways that can only be discovered and understood through study.
Fr. Gregory Pine recommends that lay people read spiritual reading at least 30 minutes a week. Sounds doable, right? Today, Fr. Mark-Mary proposes 3 types of reading that you can start with today, and what benefits you’re going to see if you do.
Meet Fr. Mark-Mary
