The Prayer and Life Workshops have been a wonderful personal journey. I came to the first meeting not sure that I would be able make it each week and commit the time. But after a couple of sessions, I had to be there every week!
It was like having a mini-retreat each Thursday evening. I felt myself connecting to God and hearing his words to me more clearly and more often. The sacred half hour is not easy every day, especially in the first weeks, but it is such a blessing. After attending PLW for fifteen weeks it became a habit.
I tried to commit to daily prayer in the past without much success. I thought I was too busy. But the structure of the PLW gave me the discipline and prayer methods I needed. And with that sacred half hour I can feel the Holy Spirit guiding me in all aspects of my life - praying, attending mass, helping others and relating to others.Parishioner from St. Theresa Parish, Austin
