Course 4: Divine Therapy 

 

Divine Therapy is a six-week course that takes a more advanced look at the process of spiritual transformation.  Fr. Keating integrates into his teachings St. John of the Cross’s Dark Night of the Soul, also called the Night of Sense, which describes a feeling of God’s absence in our lives or the “Biblical desert.”  From there, Fr. Keating moves into the Night of Spirit, drawing on St. Theresa of Avila’s paradigm for spiritual transformation.  He also shares his unique take on the Beatitudes, explaining how they speak to the potential for dismantling the false-self system and healing our emotional programs for happiness.
