Symposium Speakers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rev. Boniface Hicks, OSB<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSt. Joseph presides over this intentional surrender to childlike obedience [which] takes place in St. Teresa\u2019s fourth mansion [and] Joseph holds the lantern for us that can help us navigate this night,\u201d explains former atheist, Fr. Boniface Hicks, OSB, author of Through the Heart of St. Joseph and spiritual director. His talk will unveil how Joseph is a \u201csecret weapon\u201d of the spiritual life who can \u201cincrease\u201d our spiritual wisdom and pace up the holy mountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rev. Edward Looney<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Founder of JSI will give the Inaugural Address, giving us a thumbnail sketch of JSI\u2019s hope and dreams, its inception, mission, goals, and an overview of the symposium’s theme and speakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Robert Fastiggi<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This talk will explore Joseph\u2019s role in God\u2019s plan of Redemption, the requisite special graces he was given, his unique proximity to the order of the hypostatic union, such that, as Mary, the virgin God-bearer, can be called Coredemptrix because of her maternal cooperation with the Redeemer, is it possible to call Joseph, the virgin God-raiser, a Coredemptor due to his paternal cooperation with the Redeemer?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Christopher West<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If Theology of the Body is a theological time-bomb set to explode in our millennium, then St. Joseph is its fuse! Dr. Christopher West, a spark-plug speaker and author himself, will ignite your understanding on Joseph\u2019s manly purity and total gift of self in this dynamite talk steeped in the mind of John Paul II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Elizabeth Lev<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Art historian Dr. Elizabeth Lev, based in Rome, will provide a visual tour de force of Josephological art from the 200s AD up to present day, exploring how Joseph is \u201ca beacon\u201d today for godly fatherhood, masculinity, and chastity as she writes in her book Silent Knight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
