St. Francis de Sales Cathedral will be offering Part II of Lord Teach Me To Pray, a three-part Ignatian prayer series. Women who have completed Part I are invited to join with us as we delve into Part II, My 19th Annotation which consists of the entirety of the well-known “Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius”. The title of this part of the series refers to the 19th note that St. Ignatius wrote in his notebook. In this note he wrote that a person taken up with “public affairs or suitable business” and unable to withdraw from the world for prayer may experience the prayer of the Spiritual Exercises in his daily life. Part II is conducted in a small group experience with two trained facilitators. The group will meet once a week for prayer and faith sharing and will receive material on the Spiritual Exercises and Scriptures to use for their private prayer. This series is literally life-changing! Beginning Wednesday, September 18th, the series will be offered for women only who have completed Part I, beginning at 6:30 PM in the convent. Call the rectory office to register; all materials supplied.
