An Invitation to Prayer

A remarkable writer and retreat director shares his advice and wisdom on the art of praying. His brief guide for a richer prayer life is, first of all, an invitation to answer the deepest call of the human heart to journey home to God. It's an invitation for each of us to seek and embrace God in prayer. ""How do you and I search for God in the busy, workday world? How can we create a more prayerful environment, both outside and inside us?"" writes Hays. This Catholic Update tries to answer these questions as well as offer a method of meditation for the times we feel called to journey inward toward silent union with God. Finally, a selection of everyday prayers is given on the back of this handout to help us lift our hearts to God.
