What You Don’t Know About Prayer

Let’s be honest. You probably think you’re doing fine in your prayer life. And perhaps you are. But is your prayer life actually deepening and growing? St. Bernard famously said, “He who does not advance, falls back.” What if there’s more to prayer than what you experience now? God wants all of us to pray like saints. What’s holding you back from reaching the heights of prayer that God is calling you to?

Don’t Just Pray More, Pray Better.

Prayer is essential to our spiritual life, yet it is one of the hardest things for us to do. If you’ve ever tried to maintain a consistent and meaningful prayer life, you know how difficult it can be.

In order to pray well as faithful Catholics, we must draw from how the Holy Spirit has taught the Church to pray over the centuries.

School of Prayer is a 30-day devotional series to help you advance your prayer life farther than you ever realized you could. In this series you will study prayer in the universal Catholic Church as taught by scripture, papal encyclicals, catechisms, the saints and spiritual masters from the East and West, and more.

This includes:

  • The two things necessary for true prayer
  • The four different kinds of prayer
  • The three levels of prayer
  • How to identify and overcome the common obstacles to prayer growth
  • Practical tips for developing better habits of prayer
  • How to pray as a family
  • …and much more!

Get practical instruction that will help you pray better—now and for the rest of your life.

Very Disappointing - Dry and Dull

I love a lot of the Good Catholic classes and was looking forward to this one. It’s like watching paint dry. The text for the lesson looks like someone just cut and pasted long passages from the Catechism or various writings of scholars or saints. They’ve just added some commentary that sounds like it’s straight out of a textbook. Thank goodness for Heather’s comments at the end. She really ties it all up and makes it understandable. Fr. Matlak tries, but he’s way too stiff. Get him some media training. He stays in the same position and barely changes his expression. He looks too terrified to go off script (I’m assuming he has a teleprompter he’s working from). Loosen him up a bit. So, because of all of this, I had to read the text and watch the videos more than once just to get past the dullness. Very little of it stayed with me unless I did this. This COULD be a good program, but it needs revamping.

School of prayer

This is good stuff, I recommend it
Loved it

- Robert Hugh

Hello! I just finished reading day 5 of school of prayer! I really loved this! I learned so much! I have had people from other religions ask me why we have statues, pictures, images in our homes and in our churches. They have asked me that by having these in my homes, aren’t I committing idolatry? I never
knew quite what to say. Now, I do! Thank you Good Catholic for this series. I’m learning so much!
