Prayer is the life of the new heart.  It ought to animate us at every moment.  But we tend to forget him who is our life and our all.  This is why the Fathers of the spiritual life in the Deuteronomic and prophetic traditions insist that prayer is a remembrance of God often awakened by the memory of the heart: "We must remember God more often than we draw breath."  But we cannot pray "at all times" if we do not pray at specific times, consciously willing it.  These are the special times of Christian prayer, both in intensity and duration.

(Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph 2697)

Do you thirst for intimacy with Jesus Christ?  A great place to start is by integrating a regular practice of prayer into your everyday routine: you might develop a new habit of attending daily Mass, praying the Rosary, or spending time with Christ present in the Blessed Sacrament in Eucharistic Adoration.  

Looking for something more?  A retreat is a wonderful opportunity to step away from the pressures of daily life and focus on your relationship with God.  We invite you to participate in one of our seasonal retreats or to set aside time for a personal retreat at a local retreat center.
