ONLINE SHORT COURSE

The Fruits and Effects of the Liturgy

This course explores the transformative power of the liturgy and the call to cooperate with sacramental grace so that we might be changed by the liturgical encounter. In addition to exploring the call to conversion which is inherent to sacramental living, we will consider very specifically the objective effects which are graciously given to those who receive the Eucharist. Additionally, we will consider the importance of helping the Catholic faithful to become more verbal about the sacramental encounter and the important contribution this makes to evangelization..
