In light of Pope Leo’s encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, Fr. Enzo Del Brocco, CP, will be presenting on faith, and its place and relationship with artificial intelligence. Fr. Enzo will explore how we navigate the ever-changing world of technological advancement while maintaining and supporting the human dignity of all people. The environmental impact of AI, not just on the climate but on our human capacity for intelligence, has concerns beyond the use of energy and resources. As people of faith, we have a responsibility to consider the marginalized, the vulnerable, and the forgotten as children of God, especially as they are overlooked in the fast-paced development of artificial intelligence. Pope Leo’s encyclical can be found here: Encyclical Letter of His Holiness Leo XIV Magnifica Humanitas (15 May 2026) Fr. Enzo was born in Pittsburgh and after spending his childhood in the USA he moved to Italy with his family. He became a Passionist in 1991 and was ordained Priest in 1996. He holds a Licentiate in Moral Theology, a master's degree in human resources, a Certification in Catholic Bioethics and has a PhD in Healthcare Ethics. He is the ninth president of Catholic Theological Union in Chicago, IL. He emphasizes hope as prayer and […] |

Long before the term "spiritual" became common, Francis of Assisi embodied its deepest meaning, while also being religious in the best sense of the word. We are drawn to him because he restored religion to its proper place: the human heart, where it can transform everyday life. The 36 ways of experiencing God that author Jon Sweeney has identified from early Franciscan sources show that anyone can follow Francis's example. These practices will be explored through presentation, participation, reflection, and discussion. Examples of these early Franciscan spiritual practices include “freeing captive creatures,” “praying alone at night,” “allowing yourself to weep,” “standing between those who fight,” and “praying ‘Who are you, God? And who am I?’” On this 800th anniversary year of St. Francis’ death and Jubilee Year of St. Francis, Jon will introduce these ways of experiencing God and offer parallels from many other spiritual teachers, such as Thich Nhat Hanh, Abraham Joshua Heschel, and Mary Oliver. Facilitator Jon M. Sweeney is an award-winning author and independent scholar. In addition to his books on Dominican mystic Meister Eckhart coauthored with Mark S. Burrows, Jon is the author of a book on Thomas Merton and several books on Franciscan spirituality. Jon […] |
