Each student is invited to practice 10-20 minutes of silent prayer daily during the program to begin to develop the habit.
These next few weeks together are a special time and can be a beautiful present for your life of faith. It is an interior adventure that the Lord is offering you. Move forward into the deep water! You can be certain that this experience will have an effect in your daily life as well as in your relationships with others.
This program is a coherent whole so your regular attendance is requested.
The only goal is that at the end of the program each participant has found a joy in praying alone and regularly.
Your life is only worth what your life of silent prayer is worth. Marthe Robin
You can go to mass everyday and continue sinning a lot, but you can’t practice silent prayer without making true spiritual progress. Marthe Robin
