How does one grow in faith and their relationship with the person of Jesus? A good first step is to nurture the practice of frequent prayer - our conversation with God.

Need a few more resources to help you focus on your prayer life?
- Sign up for Pray More Novenas, a great email reminder service to help you pray novenas year-round.
- We love these books: Prayer for Beginners and Thirsting for Prayer, which will help you develop a richer prayer life.
- Learn how to Pray Like a Saint in this talk from Lighthouse Catholic Media.
- The month of October each year is dedicated to the Most Holy Rosary. This is primarily due to the fact that the liturgical feast of Our Lady of the Rosary is celebrated annually on October 7. While it might be beyond a lot of people right now to consider getting the recently-announced "Smart Rosary", it can be helpful to know how to pray this vital prayer of the Church. A useful guide for the prayers as well as a Scriptural context for each Mystery can be found at http://www.kofc.org/en/resources/cis/devotionals/4772.pdf

It is simply impossible to lead, without the aid of prayer, a virtuous life.
