Today's Art of Catholic podcast is a little different than usual.

As you may have heard, beginning Ash Wednesday I'll be streaming my powerful new series, Introduction to Real Prayer, totally FREE for Lent.

Who is it for?

Anyone who has ever struggled to pray or found it difficult to take their relationship with God to the next level...which means probably all of us should sign up.

And to help you do so, l thought I'd give you a sneak peek into what the course is like - by sharing the full Lesson One with my podcast listeners a few weeks early.

Already signed up? 

Grab a workbook to help you remember what you learn!  

Introduction to Real Prayer starts with the basics, covering topics like why pray to begin with, how it works, and what we’re supposed to pray for.

But that’s just the beginning.

You'll be guided through the ins and outs of vocal, meditative, and contemplative prayer, learning not just what they are, but how to do them.

We’re even providing Guided Audio Meditations with each lesson to help you practice what you’re learning!

But that's not all. This series also covers topics like:

• Overcoming Distraction

• Spiritual Consolations & Dealing with Dryness

• The Beautiful Power of Silence

• The 3 Stages of the Spiritual Life

• and more!

In short, it’s a powerful, free, crash course on real prayer that teaches everything you need to know to move into a deeper union with God...and stay there.

Listen to Lesson One, sign up, and join thousands of Catholics around the world learning to move into a deeper, more fulfilling relationship with the God of the universe who is waiting for you to join him…in prayer.

God bless!
