When You Pray Parish-Wide Study This Lent At Holy Spirit

Join us this Lent at Holy Spirit!

We are excited to have a parish-wide series offered twice a week this Lent. (When You Pray by Dr. Edward Sri)

This study will help you trust, surrender, and transform your prayer life. You know prayer is important but still find it challenging. Perhaps it’s hard to find time, or you’re unsure what to do when you pray. Or maybe you feel discouraged by your weaknesses and your inability to overcome them.

If you have any of these feelings, you are not alone. Many of the saints struggled in prayer. They were like us. But each time they fell, they got up again and learned to rely more on God’s grace.

What God did in the lives of countless saints, he wants to do in the lives of ordinary people like us. And that’s what this study is about: the journey of prayer God wants to take us on.

Authored and presented by Dr. Edward Sri, When You Pray also features Fr. Jacques Philippe, Fr. Josh Johnson, Fr. Gregory Pine, Sister Josephine Garrett, Fr. Donald Haggerty, and Sister Maris Stella.

Hospitality and Small Groups will be provided.

You can come as you are with your Journal and your Bible to each of our 7 sessions. If you want more to help your study feel free to order the companion study set that accompanies this study (at Ascension Press). Regardless you will be provided a new handout each week along with other resources from the saints.

There is no fee to attend.
