Catholic Prayer: Exploring Prayer with the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Leader

Are you seeking a new way to pray? This course will help you find the prayer method that suits you best, strengthening your connection to God.

With a simple yet powerful approach, this 12-lecture series will enliven and deepen your life of prayer. Your presenter is Jesuit priest Fr. James Kubicki, who served as national director of the Apostleship of Prayer (now the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network). In these lectures, he integrates decades of personal experience with deep wisdom about the Catholic spiritual tradition.

As you will learn, there is no “one-size-fits-all” method of prayer. These lectures will inspire you to find your own individual way of communicating with God. To do so, you will draw upon the wisdom of St. Ignatius Loyola, St. Teresa of Ávila, and other great teachers of prayer. Throughout this spiritual journey, you will explore such topics as the Lord’s Prayer, various types of prayer (intercessory prayer, contemplation, lectio divina), the Examen and discernment, and the roles of imagination and desire in prayer.

This brilliantly taught program is ideal for both individual spiritual edification and use in group settings. In considering a wide variety of prayer methods, you will find encouragement to follow the path to which God is calling you. Enter deeply into God’s love today.
