"We have the capacity to wrap the Earth with a new mantle of compassionate love and peace. But do we have the vision?" writes theologian and author Ilia Delio in one of her many books.

“Love is the most universal, formidable and mysterious of cosmic energies," wrote Teilhard de Chardin. His teachings lead us to inquire about how our individual and communal stories shape our lives in the larger order of the universe. Sr. Ilia Delio leads us in studying Teilhard's vision of a relational, divine view of the world.

Dominican Center Marywood at Aquinas College in collaboration with the Center of Mariandale in Ossining, NY is pleased to invite you to join a live stream webinar with Ilia Delio, OSF on Saturday, April 29 from 10 am -12 pm EST

“Love at the heart of being empowers life toward more being and more life; God is the energy of wholeness and the irresistible lure to greater wholeness. God is the integral whole that attracts every whole toward greater wholeness.”

~ Ilia Delio, The Unbearable Wholeness of Being

How do our individual and communal stories shape our lives in the larger order of things? What holds us together despite our differences? Join a community of seekers to examine the God-world relationship, a deeply relational and unfolding process of Divine-created life. In this world view, a larger story which includes care for the human spirit, diversity and difference allows our local and personal stories to thrive. Learn how the powerful energies of Love help us access healing and wholeness.

Join us for an optional post presentation conversation beginning at 12:15 pm.
