True dialogue with God takes years to cultivate.

We will touch on prayer methods from St. Ignatius to St. Theresa of Avila, how to dispose ourselves to listen more deeply to God, and ways to discern what God is saying once we are able to stop talking and “have ears to hear.” These gatherings will be led by our parish Pastoral Associate, Marti Salas.
