You will be deeply touched by this vital and unique course.
In this remarkable course, you will explore with fresh insight the centrality of prayer for the Christian life while learning concrete, edifying steps for enriching one's relationship with God.
Your guide for this spiritual journey is Fr. Dennis Billy, C.Ss.R. (D.Theol., Harvard University; S.T.D., Pontifical University of St. Thomas), whose expertise is truly astounding. Through twelve brilliant and moving talks, you will discover what makes prayer uniquely Christian and examine the essential role of prayer in the spiritual life. This course is thoughtfully designed for those who seek to gain a more profound background on the theology of prayer.
You will look at the nature of prayer, its various forms, and the rhythm of prayer Christians should seek to maintain in their lives. You will also explore the Lord’s Prayer’s special place in the Christian prayer life, discovering why it is considered the “perfect prayer” and “summary of the Gospel.” You will then learn about such topics as lectio divina, the distinctions between ascetical and mystical prayer, and the various interpretations of Paul’s exhortation to “pray without ceasing” (1 Th 5:17).
This course will provide an impetus for an ongoing spiritual journey. Prayer is the most important action a person can do in life. This extraordinary program will guide you towards intimacy with God and the fullness of life.
