“For me, prayer is a surge of the heart; 

it is a simple look turned toward heaven, 

it is a cry of recognition and of love, 

embracing both trial and joy.”

St. Thérèse of Lisieux, cited in CCC 2558

St. Thérèse of Lisieux called prayer "a surge of the heart" – the soul’s response to the gentle pull towards communion with God. 

In this five-session course, we will explore the rich vision of Christian spirituality and the place of prayer within it, seeing prayer not merely as a practice but as a growing relationship with God. From this wider perspective, we will consider practical ways of praying and the challenges that often accompany the journey.

This course is for those who have ever felt confused or uncertain about prayer, and for those who want to deepen their own prayer life.
