We will explore the Examen, the Colloquy, Imaginative Prayer, Prayer of Consideration, Lectio Divina and more. These are incredible short prayer forms that can be used daily to strengthen your relationship with God and bring an increase of faith, hope, joy and peace to your daily life. These are prayers that everyone can do, even you and me.
  A new prayer form or two will be introduced each week and we will practice it for that weeks’ time.
