Summary

Learning how to pray is one of the topics Christians are continually striving to learn more about. In this episode we talk in depth about a couple of forms of prayer and also share some of our personal experiences and insights from our own prayer life. We hope that this conversation blesses you and encourages you to pray and encounter Christ more deeply.

One Thing We Love This Week:

Sr. Miriam's One Thing - Her best pals Heather and Michelle!
Michelle's One Thing - The Examen Prayer: Ignatian Wisdom for Our Lives Today by Fr. Timothy Gallagher
Heather's One Thing - Bishop Barron Video "Christ Call You To Mission." Also the song "Speak to Me" by Kari Jobe

Discussion Questions:

What tends to distract you from taking time to pray each day? How can you prevent it?
What type of prayer do you find most fruitful in your life?
What is your experience with Lectio Divina?
Do you believe that God wants to speak to you, personally?

Journal Questions:

If you don't have one, make a prayer plan for each day of your week.
Spend some time in the gaze of God, what do you believe He is speaking to your heart?
Where have you seen God's truth today? Where did you see a lie?

Quote to Ponder:

"For me, prayer is a surge of the heart; it is a simple look turned toward heaven, it is a cry of recognition and of love, embracing both trial and joy." - St. Therese of Lisieux
