About the event

Course Overview:

“[T]he living and true God tirelessly calls each person to that mysterious encounter known as prayer.  In prayer, the faithful God’s initiative of love always comes first; our own first step is always a response.  As God gradually reveals himself…prayer appears as a reciprocal call, a covenant drama. Through words and actions, this drama engages the heart.  It unfolds throughout the whole history of salvation.” CCC 2567

Course Objectives:

  1. To enkindle in hearts a deeper love for God.
  2. To grow in self-knowledge in light of our call to Trinitarian love and to integrate this knowledge into our daily life.
  3. To gain an understanding of the spiritual life as a road map for growth.
  4. To inspire the daily habit of mental prayer, thus setting the stage for the gift of infused contemplation, thus effecting deep and lasting transformation.
