Adoremus joins the Avila Institute in offering “Mystery and Mission in the Sacred Liturgy,” a series of four introductory courses on liturgical prayer and the sacraments, and taught by Adoremus Director, Christopher Carstens.
The last of these four courses examines Sacramentals, the Liturgy of the Hours, and Devotions. While the celebration of the seven sacraments forms the heart of our liturgical relationship with God, the sacramentals (blessings, consecrations, and exorcisms) extend the grace of the sacraments into many other aspects of Christian life.
The Liturgy of the Hours likewise radiates the grace of the daily Eucharist through the hours of day. Expanding further, devotional and private prayer continue to sanctify the moments of life and are an essential part of a mature, Catholic spirituality.
This six-week course meets live online Thursdays, 7:30–9:00 p.m. Eastern, from September 4 through October 16, 2025. Adoremus readers will receive a 25% discount and can take the course for $150.
Anyone interested in participating should apply at the Avila Institute for Spiritual Formation and enter the discount code ADOREMUS to waive the application fee. Once a participant has been accepted for the course, a representative from the Avila Institute will follow up by assisting in enrollment, which includes processing the 25% discount.
