Contemplative Prayer 101

How do you find God? This may be the single most important question for Christians today. Now, in this extensive, 24-conference program, you will join celebrated author and Pauline sister, Kathryn James Hermes, F.S.P., in exploring the tradition of contemplative prayer. Whether you are a newcomer or well-seasoned in the ways of prayer, you will find nourishment in this sublime series. Sr. Hermes weaves together various strands of Christian living into a tapestry of spiritual development and Christian maturity. When your soul longs for the spiritual, how do you find the time to contemplate? What happens when God asks you to let go of what is most dear to you? What can you learn from the ancient mystical tradition of the Church today? In this vital course, you will reflect upon these questions and much more, discovering new horizons of contemplative living in today's ever-changing world. As you explore a variety of practical teachings on contemplative prayer from saints and the Catholic tradition, you will deepen your own spiritual life. It is only the Spirit who paints in your heart the face of Christ, and so this program includes prayer exercises that place you under Spirit's guiding light. As you embark on this journey, you will find paths to inner peace when your heart needs healing. This is a truly essential course for all Christians wishing to live prayerfully.
