The rediscovery of ancient spiritual practices in the postmodern church has

Hours of Prayers

 These simple services for Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer are based on ancient
traditions that originate in the daily prayer of the Jewish community and the
early centuries of the church. You may use these prayers at home, or with a

congregation.

Lectio Divina

Lectio Divina is a way of praying meditatively with the Bible so that the Word of God
can reach into our hearts and minds. It's a simple and natural way of meditation

radical vocation of silence, prayer and love.

One important practice necessary for a rich spiritual life is attentiveness.
Attentiveness, a key component for discernment, makes it possible to decipher
what God is doing in our lives. We first must listen for God and watch for God’s
actions in our lives and community in order to be able to discern God’s
ways.
