Happy Memorial of St. Therese of Lisieux!
Last week, we discussed the three types of prayer (vocal, meditative, and contemplative) and introduced four forms of prayer (journaling, Lectio Divina, daily examen, and novenas) for the youth to explore and build into their prayer habits.
We closed with the Litany of Poverty, bringing our brokenness and woundedness before the Lord.
This week, we're picking up where we left off by discussing how to build prayer into your schedule (or, if you're really committed, how to build your schedule around prayer!) and the importance of accountability in persevering in prayer.
Come dressed to play!
This Sunday, 10/3, looking forward to seeing Carpe Diem from 4-6pm and Vita Nova from 6:30-8:30pm!
