Welcome back to the Word on Fire Show. I'm Brandon Vat the host and the senior content

director at Word on Fire. Today we'd like to share with you a sample lesson from a brand

new course inside our Word on Fire Institute. The course is taught by Father Paul Murray.

Father Paul is a wonderful Irish Dominican. One of the great spiritual masters and authors

of today, he's written many fantastic books, including the recent book we published that

Word on Fire on St. Catherine of Siena. But this course is titled Prayer Beauty Mission,

the Hidden Springs of the New Evangelization. Lesson one in this course is titled Falling

Toward God. And it builds on the idea that although the spiritual life is typically understood

to begin in a scent as if we're climbing higher up the mountain toward God. In Christianity,

it begins with decent, namely the descent of God toward us. As first John 4, 10 says,

God has loved us first. So in this lesson, Father Paul Murray explores the significance

of such a beginning. So we hope you enjoy this sample lesson. If you like what you hear,

then you're going to want to sign up for the Institute. You can do so at Word on Fire.Institute.

When you do, you'll get access to all the other lessons in this course by Father Paul

Murray, along with nearly 20 other courses. Plus, we're going to mail you a welcome package

with some books and some other cool items. You'll also get every three months a copy of

the evangelization and culture journal, which is just stunningly beautiful and filled with

great substantial content. And then finally, you get access to all of Bishop Barence films

and study programs. You can watch them on the computer, your phone, your tablet, your

TV, wherever you are. So it's an unbelievable deal. Again, sign up at Word on Fire.Institute.

But for now, enjoy this sample lesson from Father Paul Murray's course titled Prayer,

Beauty and Mission. Enjoy.
