Companion to The Path to God

A complete formation companion to Gregory of Nyssa's homilies on the Lord's Prayer and the Beatitudes — designed for the Catholic parish, classroom, and private cell.

This Study Guide turns the thirteen homilies in The Path to God into thirteen guided sessions, each one a self-contained meditation on a single phrase of Christ's teaching on prayer or beatitude.

Every session opens with a one-page summary of Gregory's argument in plain language; continues with five guided questions suitable for group discussion or solo reflection; presents four-to-six cross-references from the Catechism of the Catholic Church showing where the teaching of the Fathers lives on in the Church's living memory; and closes with a collect-form prayer rooted in the patristic tradition.

Designed for

  • Parish faith-formation classes and adult-catechesis groups
  • RCIA leaders and Confirmation directors
  • Lectio divina circles and prayer groups
  • Seminarians and theology students approaching the Fathers for the first time
  • Private weekly devotional reading paired with the translation volume

Use the Guide alongside the companion translation The Path to God: On the Lord's Prayer & the Beatitudes, also from Christ Bearer Press, for a complete patristic formation in prayer.

Christ Bearer Catholic Patristic Library, Volume 2.
