by Fr. Thomas Nelson, O.Praem.
This course studies the ascetical life of penance and self-denial and the necessary role it plays in
the Christian life of virtue and prayer. Within that context the ascetical practices of fasting,
vigils, custody of the senses, the disciplining of the passions, and the mortification of the intellect,
memory, and will are explained. Lastly, the course looks at the passive dark nights the soul must
endure to reach union with God, and the power of redemptive suffering.
The course is divided into 17 sessions; all sessions are included for $30. It is purchased as a digital download; a link will be emailed to you following purchase.
