Ways Into Prayer

Prayer lies at the very heart of the life of the Church and is the foundation of Christian discipleship. In prayer we relate to God with the whole of our being: with heart, mind, body and soul. Prayer will always be a journey of discovery where we continue to be surprised by God (Introduction, Ways Into Prayer).

The Spirituality Commission for the Catholic Archdiocese of Southwark, in collaboration with the Anglican Diocese of Rochester, has produced Ways Into Prayer. Its purpose is to help us to develop and deepen our relationship with God. It is primarily intended for use in parishes, schools or group settings. Below you will find the downloadable and printable PDF files for the leader’s notes and guided prayer exercises. Printed copies of the full set are available for a £6 fee (plus postage) via the Agency for Evangelisation and Catechesis.

REVIEW OF PRAYER

‘We review our prayer not with any sense of judging how well we have performed. Instead we pay attention to what we felt, saw, shared, heard or understood during this time’.
