Are you hungering for a deeper prayer life?

 St. Francis de Sales Cathedral is introducing Lord Teach Me To Pray, a three-part Ignatian prayer series developed in 2001 to meet the desire of men and women for on-going spiritual growth as they respond to the call to holiness and to a deeper commitment to Jesus Christ as Lord.   It was developed as an outreach program to bring the Holy Spirit into the daily lives of lay people in facilitated faith-sharing prayer communities where the Lord, himself, teaches them to pray. Lord Teach Me To Pray is part of the New Evangelization as understood in the writings and initiatives of Blessed John Paul II, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI and Pope Francis. 

The mission of Lord, Teach Me To Pray consists in
enabling men and women to grow in their personal knowledge
and love of Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior,
thus facilitating their eternal salvation and that of their family.

Part I, Praying Christian Virtues, introduces Ignatian prayer and spirituality in the way that St. Ignatius himself introduced it to the people, by structuring their initial prayer experience around the Christian Virtues.  The series will be offered for women and is led by two trained facilitators.  The group meets for 1/1/2 hours once a week for 12 weeks of prayer, brief prayer sharing and instruction. Each participant will receive a binder, with handouts given each week. Please call the rectory office for more information!
