Using ideas from Familiaris Corsortio Rubio will highlight five spiritual tasks of families as they acknowledge the challenges of over-scheduled and stressed life. She will help them come to recognize family as a school of virtue while acknowledging and accepting the imperfection of everyday life. At the close of the session, participants will select one family spiritual practice as they renew their commitment as disciples.
The Apostolic Exhortation Familiaris Consortio (On the Christian Family in the Modern World) by Pope John Paul II. 1981 is available at the Vatican website.
Julie Hanlon Rubio’s teaching, writing and research in theology and family ethics is grounded in real-life experience of trying to make the works of mercy and justice as central to her family as homework and sports. Rubio wears many hats: wife, mother, professor, theologian, and author. She is professor of Christian ethics at St. Louis University and the director the M.A. program in theology.
