PrayAdvent will set you on fire! Over the next several weeks, you will discover the prayer life you have always wanted. Most of us go our entire lives praying like we were taught in the second grade. What you learned was not wrong, but have you grown? Has your prayer life deepened and evolved each day, week, month and year since second grade? If it has not, you may be spiritually out of shape, spiritually dead, and possibly on the verge of losing eternal life. The prayer exercises in PrayAdvent (very similar to an intense, insane workout program for your body) can help transform your heart, mind, soul and entire being!

PrayAdvent is designed to be read daily and will guide you through an amazing Advent journey using inspirational prayer exercises. It is best to start this program by reading Preparations Days 1-3 before the start of Advent. Begin the prayer program on the first Sunday of Advent. Then, starting with Monday of the 1^st week of Advent, I will lead you through prayer using six prayer types: Contemplative Prayer, Guided Meditation, Lectio Divina, Praying like a Pirate, Praying with the Senses, and Scriptural Relaxation. 

*In addition to encouraging parishioners to read along, 

St. Matthias will offer in-person guided meditation events every day.*
