“The Teams of Our Lady, a movement of married spirituality, is considered as a gift of God to the Church and to the world.”
Guide of the Teams of Our Lady.
The term ‘conjugal spirituality’ has been used
from the very early times in our Movement but do we fully understand it and its
relevance in today’s world?
This series of study topics over the next 8
months will first consider the vocation of conjugal spirituality and the
purpose of Teams of Our Lady. The sacrament of marriage is explored, followed
by how we should live out the sacrament in the world. These ideas and the
methods of Teams of Our Lady are then developed to consider how we orient our
lives in the love of God.
The final topic takes Jesus as our model and
opens up some new thinking on our path to holiness, both as individuals and as
a couple.
While developing greater understanding of
couple spirituality, we propose this study so the new Orientation of our
Movement can become a reality in our lives.
The format will follow the same pattern as the
recent study series. Couples are asked to read the topic before the meeting,
and consider the suggested questions at a sit-down, before discussing the topic
with the rest of the team at the team meeting.
