DIOCESE OF TULSA Pastoral Studies Institute October Classes – These classes are free to all The Rhineland Mystics: Meister Eckhart This year, as part of our continuing series of classes on spiritual theology, we will examine the mystical writings of the Rhineland Mystics, beginning with Meister Eckhart. John Paul II once commented: “I think of the marvelous history of Rheno-Flemish mysticism of the thirteenth and especially of the fourteenth centuries. Did not Eckhart teach his disciples: ‘All that God asks you most pressingly is to go out of yourself..and let God be God in you’? One could think that in separating himself from creatures the mystic leaves his brother humanity behind. The same Eckhart affirms that on the contrary the mystic is marvelously present to them on the only level where he can truly reach them, that is, in God.” Day & Time: Mondays, Oct 7, 14, 21, & 28, 7:00-8:30 p.m. Instructor: William Dunn, S.T.L.
