Publisher's summary

Explore the towering mysticism of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin in this one-of-a-kind retreat experience. Presented by gifted professor, author, and contemplative retreat leader Fr. Donald Goergen, O.P., this six-conference series is designed to capture your spiritual imagination and deepen your life with Christ. These conferences are life-changing.

Trained as a scientist and ordained as a Jesuit priest, Teilhard was one of the most profound spiritual writers of the 20th century. He was a mystic with a cosmic vision, and his spirituality continues to enthrall people around the world. He seamlessly wove together science and theology, creating a powerful vision of the universe.

By listening to Fr. Goergen’s conferences on Teilhard, you will come to understand discipleship and how we are all called to grow spiritually. Whatever your own calling in life is, Teilhard’s profound spiritual wisdom will speak to you. After listening to the audio conferences for six days, you may wish to take a seventh day to pray and reflect using your free retreat guide.

Teilhard’s mystical vision of the world was both universal and deeply personal. Fr. Goergen’s moving retreat will lead you to discover how this vision can shape your spirituality today. Let Teilhard accompany you and offer wise guidance in your journey to eternal life. This program was originally part of Fr. Goergen’s A Retreat with Four Spiritual Masters.

This course is part of the Learn25 collection and includes a free PDF retreat guide.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic reviews

“The finest professor with whom I have had the privilege to study, Don’s style is at once captivating and endearing.” (Fr. Raymond-Marie Bryce, O.P., Associate Pastor, Indiana University)

“Don Goergen has spent his life meditating on the meaning of Jesus and his mission...His work, whether spoken or written, is always holistic: intellectually satisfying, strengthening the heart, socially and pastorally sensitive.” (Vivian Boland OP, socius to the Master of the Order of Preachers)

“Studying Christology with Donald Goergen, OP almost two decades ago forever changed my understanding of Jesus of Nazareth, and continues to shape my prayer and preaching to this day. I am thrilled that Don's research and insight will now be available to a wider audience.” (Ann M. Garrido, Associate Professor of Homiletics, Aquinas Institute of Theology)

“Father Don Goergen, O.P., is a master of the spiritual life. He has not only studied Christian spirituality for many years but has put into practice in his adult life all of those key elements which enable one to grow in holiness....Let Don show you with the way with his wisdom and insights.” (Father Harry Byrne, O.P., Professor Emeritus, Aquinas Institute of Theology)

“Few have Fr. Don Goergen’s understanding of the elusive depths of Dominican spirituality. His living of our Dominican life shines through his body of published work on the Holy Spirit as well as his down to earth recorded lectures and retreats on Chardin and our own Eckhart.” (Mr. Joseph J. Komadina, O.P.)

“Fr. Goergen is a contemplative person, very much in tune with contemporary spirituality. He has carried many administrative responsibilities with steady competence. He possesses the Midwestern virtues of hard work and sober judgment, along with a ready humor.” (Benedict T. Viviano, O.P., biblical scholar)

Excellent, Immersive Journey

Fr. Goergen offers retreatants an authentic, self-appropriative journey through Teilhard's central works and insights. I will listen to this periodically for years to come. Thank you Father!

A unique and human view of religion

For decades I was under the belief that God and our humanity were two different things without a way to conciliate! This is a Gods work for sure!
