THE POWER AND THE GLORY Praying the Psalms and Sanctifying the Day A Weekend For Christian Men March 14-16, 2014 “Prayer is the one thing that can conquer God,” according to 3rd century Father of the Church, Tertullian. Saint Paul tells us to “pray without ceasing” I Thessalonians 5:17 Saint John Chrysostom reminds us that “Wherever you may be, you can pray anywhere.” The Weekend invites us to look at prayer in a deeper and more powerful way. In particular we will reflect on the Psalms which Jesus Himself prayed. We will look at the Divine Office as a means of prayer without ceasing. Participants are invited to deepen their prayer life as well as their understanding of the Psalms which are the ‘Prayer Book of the Church.’ Jesus, Himself, prayed the Psalms. Time is provided for silence, prayer, and sharing. Women on the weekend will also encounter God’s love in song and Sacrament. THE TOPICS INCLUDE . . . Sharing in God’s Power and Glory Living Prayer: Prayer as a Way of Life The Divine Office: The Prayer of the Church Praying the Office: Sanctifying the Day Praying Without Ceasing THE SPIRITUAL DIRECTORS
