Time and the Temple
A conversation between Fr. Mauro Lepori, Abbot General of the Cistercian Order, and high school students from Atchison, KS, involved in the exhibit “Cry Out to Him Who Is Now,” moderated by Aaron Riches, professor of theology, Benedictine College
Time and the Temple is a collection of meditations on Christian vocation given by Fr. Luigi Giussani in the final decade of his life. The text, which has been pivotal in the vocational stories of countless men and women, is now available in English for the first time. Over several months, a group of Kansas high school students met weekly to discuss the book and contributed to this year’s Encounter exhibit about it. They will converse with the Abbot General of the Cistercian Order about topics from the text that they found especially relevant to their lives.
