Take a 45-minute Resurrection WalkFaculty Ministry Invites You to Experience Via Divina
Sharing God’s good news often comes from experiencing Jesus’ resurrection in our lives. This week Faculty Ministry invites you to take a short spiritual journey of walking the resurrection life with Jesus as you listen to Via Divina: The Celtic Way – Branch 2. In this audio guide you will hear stories of St. Brigid and the women at Jesus’ tomb while you are invited into prayer practices and reflections that allow space for God to continue shaping your life through the reality of the resurrection.
Via Divina invites us into the tradition of pilgrimage, a practice that helps us hear and respond to God’s calling in our lives as we walk ancient paths with Jesus toward new hope. These audio-guided walks include scripture, movement, story, and invitations to holy imagination. Join in these journeys to follow Jesus together with students, faculty members, alumni and ministry partners.
Enjoy this hour-long walk on your own or with a group anywhere on the St. Mary of the Lake Campus or in your neighborhood at home. If you’d like to prepare for the walk, here are three suggestions. You can also just jump down to the audio guide instructions and get started. Blessings!
As an introduction to this practice, we invite you to listen to a 9-minute video:

Also, if helpful, you can download the interactive journal where you can take field notes on your walk and engage with some reflection questions.

Before or after you walk, you may want to take five minutes to engage with this Visio Divina video.
