Prayer: Our Deepest Longing
Once again, the Christian Formation Secretariat of the Diocese of Baton Rouge is inviting all parishes to read, reflect and share their thoughts on the same book during the season of Lent. This year, the Secretariat is suggesting the book, Prayer: Our Deepest Longing, written by the renowned spiritual writer, Fr. Ronald Rolheiser. The book begins with our basic yearning for God and gently leads the reader to a deepening experience of God in prayer. Drawing from Scripture, ancient and modern writers, and our own experience, Fr. Rolheiser clears misconceptions about prayer and offers both consolation and challenge. He provides help for overcoming struggles in prayer, developing a mature habit of prayer and exploring new prayer practices.
Parishes are encouraged to form small study groups to meet during Lent to discuss one chapter of the book each week for five weeks. The books can be purchased online at: www.cart.dynamiccatholic.com for $3 per copy when ordered in bulk.
