Cor ad Cor Meeting
-
St. Newman believed that in prayer we speak to God heart to heart (in Latin Cor=Heart; Cor ad Cor loquitor = Heart speaks to Heart). His Cor ad Cor spirituality also extends to those we encounter in everyday life - our family, friends, colleagues, students, etc. Following the Sacred Scriptures (e.g., Prvbs, 4:23), our Blessed Mother (Luke 2:19), the Apostles and Fathers down to St. Newman, we believe the heart is the source for all thinking, willing, and feeling.
St. Newman believed the heart to be the place where discernment, decision, belief and action happen. He believed that personal influence, Cor ad Cor, especially of a teacher to student, was the surest way to communicate truth. TNI’s professors follow his way, by accompanying and mentoring students as they grow and mature in their faith and knowledge through individual or small group tutorials and activities.
For those who want to go deeper in IKON learning and to grow spiritually, we offer Cor ad Cor Mentoring. This mentoring creates what we call Cor Knowledge, which includes a personalized approach to learning and wisdom.
With IKON membership students receive a one hour 1 on 1 or small group tutorial of Cor ad Cor Mentoring with an IKON Professor per month. Additional mentoring is available should students desire it."Cor ad Cor has been a space for me to delve deeper into exploring my desires and the impact those are undoubtedly going to have on my life. Having a Catholic perspective incorporated into the guidance and wisdom I receive, makes Cor ad Cor different from other types of mentoring. I’m grateful to Dr. Delio for being willing to offer himself as a resource to us outside of class hours in a one on one setting. I’ve seen my thinking change as a result of participating in Cor ad Cor and it is something I would definitely recommend to anyone and everyone!" - Joanna P
