The aim of this course is to provide participants with a foundational understanding of the place of prayer in the Catholic tradition. Rather than offering a manual or handbook on how to pray, this course will serve as a springboard for exploring prayer within Christianity. Participants will be challenged to consider what it means to see themselves as persons of prayer, deepening their spiritual practice and enriching their faith experience.
- Pastoral Workers involved in general ministry.
- Christians committed to continual growth in their relationship with God, who, however, have little to no experience in the formal study of prayer.
