Why? Because without prayer, we have no communication with the God who made us and loves us more than we can imagine. It's something we desperately need. In fact, it is so vitally important that St. Teresa of Avila says prayer it "is a matter of life and death for all Christians." And yet, so many people don't really understand what it is and how it works...which means they're not really praying.Hosted by evangelist Matthew Leonard, Introduction to Real Prayer introduces participants to the basics of prayer, its necessity, and how to make it a part of their daily lives. In particular, it explores the 3 major types of prayer to which every Catholic is called - vocal, meditative, and contemplative prayer...not just what they are, but how to do them. Matthew also covers the three stages of the spiritual life, as well as the the practical steps to make actual progress in the spiritual life, all in the easy to understand, conversational style for which he is known. Truly understanding and practicing prayer will radically change your life, which is exactly the goal of this powerful series.Introduction to Real Prayer is one of the many studies available through ScienceOfSainthood.com.
