Following the initial post of a December 14th talk by Father Steven Payne, OCD on our community website and…..subsequent discovery by Mark Schilling of the online hyperlink to its recording…. Our community now has access to the recording.
While it is not required, it might be a useful reference you might return to time and again, if you want to dive deeper into “The Dark Night of the Soul”. Father Payne is an awesome communicator. (He has two doctorates.)
Here is the link to a college-level one-hour lecture by Fr. Payne, OCD on The Dark Night. Father Payne was our retreat master at least once in the past several years. )
