Course Overview
What is the mystical life and how do we make progress in it? How do we become spiritually mature? Why do bad things happen to good people?
Discover some answers to these questions in Introduction to Spiritual Theology. During this course, we will deepen our understanding of the Trinity and how we can strive to imitate Jesus and Mary every day. We will also engage topics such as stages of prayer, discernment of spirits, and ordinary and extraordinary mystical phenomena.
