Is prayer an integral part of your day?
Do you hear God’s voice in your

accordingly?

essentials of a fruitful prayer life.
Over the course of eight weeks you will discover how God
speaks to you, even in the smallest encounters. Following
the Tradition of the Catholic Church and the wisdom of the
Saints, you will learn how to express yourself to God in
prayer, and how to hear his voice.
