Prayer

The mass and sacraments are the greatest prayers and are the essential public prayers used with the other members of the Body of Christ. However, our personal prayer life away from the liturgy will have a great effect on how much benefit we will receive from liturgy.

The Adoration Chapel is open to all for the Perpetual Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.  Volunteers are always needed to fill various time slots. 

Contact Pat Kankowski 619.589.9002.

The Centering Prayer Group meets every Saturday morning at 10:00 a.m. in the Ministry Center.  Contact Sue Gossman 619.466.3150.

Sodality of St. Thérèse meets to pray the rosary for peace following daily mass.  Each year, on the Sunday we celebrate the Feast of St. Thérèse (October 1), they graciously distribute roses at all masses.  Join in anytime, or contact Clarita Benenati 619.255.2622.

Of course, most of our groups have a strong practice of prayer which would enrich one’s own spirituality but these listed have prayer as their primary purpose.

"You wrote to me: 'To pray is to talk with God. But about what?' About what?

About him, and yourself: joys, sorrows, successes and failures,

great ambitions, daily worries - even your weaknesses!

And acts of thanksgiving and petitions - and love and reparation.

In short, to get to know him and to get to know yourself - 'to get acquainted!'"   

St. Josemaria Escriva, The Way
