Easter Mission on Deepening Prayer

The five Prayer sessions offered by Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish don’t recommend one specific technique for praying. Rather, these sessions offer some very practical approaches to prayer that, hopefully, will provide practical guidance on how you might pray in your current situation and station in life.

These sessions are independent of each other and have been targeted to specific groups within our parish. However, we believe that anyone could tap into the vein of grace provided by each speaker, no matter what your state in life.

Finally, our hope is that anyone attending one or more of these sessions will exit with practical advice that will help them improve their prayer life and, hopefully, motivating us all to do so. This is a perfect time to work on our prayer life as we once again await a renewed infusion of the Holy Spirit!
