Sharing the Pauline method of prayer and preparing to face the challenges of the digital age with awareness: these were the two programs that brought together numerous members of the Pauline Family in recent months.
Last April, Sr. Triphonia Kim Hwa Soon published the book Prayer: Way, Truth, and Life, with the aim of introducing the Pauline method of prayer and sharing it with an ever-growing number of people. Following the book’s publication, the Pauline Family gathered from July 13 to 15 for an intensive period of formation and reflection devoted specifically to prayer according to the Pauline method.
Participants included members of the Institute of Jesus the Priest, the Institute of Our Lady of the Annunciation, the Holy Family Institute, the Society of St. Paul, and the Sisters of Jesus the Good Shepherd. It was a valuable opportunity to share experiences and reflections and to rediscover together the richness of the spiritual heritage that unites the Pauline Family.
The journey continued in August with a second gathering, this time devoted to a highly relevant topic: artificial intelligence.
At the initiative of the Daughters of St. Paul, approximately 80 members of the Pauline Family participated in an “AI Literacy Workshop” from August 21 to 23. The three-day program offered an opportunity to learn more about the world of artificial intelligence and to reflect on the mission entrusted to the Pauline Family in the digital age.
The workshop, led by Sr. Julia Park Jeong of the Daughters of St. Paul, brought together participants from the Society of St. Paul, the Pious Disciples of the Divine Master, and the secular institutes of the Pauline Family. Through sessions of formation, reflection, and sharing, participants explored the opportunities and challenges presented by new technologies.
At the conclusion of the experience, there was a deep sense of joy in the journey shared and gratitude for an opportunity for formation considered especially meaningful. The two workshops differed in subject but shared a common desire: to continue growing together, safeguarding the Pauline spiritual heritage while responding responsibly and creatively to the new challenges of the present.
