The Book of the Month for both September and October of 2024 will be An Introduction to Prayer written by Bishop Robert Barron and published by Word on Fire.  I personally love talking to people about prayer.  For example, engaging some very important questions such as: How much should I pray every day?  When I try to pray, what kind of things do I try to say to God?  How do I hear God’s voice?  Are there different types of prayer, and if so, why does that matter for my life?

The problem is that I only have so many hours in each day to talk to people one on one about prayer.  One really helpful solution to this problem is to read a solid Catholic book on the topic, and Bishop Barron just came out with this gem at the perfect time!  He does a wonderful job of hitting on so many of the essential topics when it comes to prayer like – how to deal with distractions or different approaches and mindsets to take when you try to pray.  Prayer can seem intimidating, but I promise you that if you continue trying your best to pray and learn about prayer (for example, by reading this book or just coming to the discussion of it!), you will grow in your ability to encounter Christ in your heart and soul when you are praying. 

We will get together to discuss this book on Wednesday, November 6th from 7:30 – 8:30 pm, and this book is only about 125 pages long, so it is very readable even if it takes you some time to snag a copy!  Even if you don’t have time to read this book, please consider coming to meeting in the social hall on Nov. 6th, and I will do my best to summarize my favorite parts and bring some good discussion into the room as well.                                Thank you again, and God Bless you.
