The Journey of Praying Throughout our Lives
– For Single Women ages 18-35
The Spirit within us moves us to pray...and so we approach our God with all of our longings, with all we are grateful for and all that besets us. At times we wonder: Is there a fitting way to pray? Even the first apostles had this concern. Seeing Jesus at prayer they asked: Lord, teach us to pray. Jesus taught by example the value of personal prayer and the importance of praying in common. The following one day retreats will focus on the various ways to pray throughout the seasons of our lives.
