Calling all Catholics: A Practical Self-Guided Retreat for Consistent Prayer from the Heart

This self-guided retreat is an invitation to rediscover prayer in the midst of ordinary life. Instead of waiting for the “perfect” quiet moment, or quieter season in your life, you’ll learn how to turn your real, everyday experiences into personal prompts to pray from the heart. Daily chores, routines, distractions, temptations, frustrations, and even your habits and weaknesses become gentle reminders to reach for the Lord. Nothing is wasted — every thought, feeling, and task can become a small, personal return to His presence…and a custom conversation-starter with Him. By the end of this retreat, you’ll be building a rhythm of prayer that grows naturally out of your real life,

deepening your personal relationship with Jesus that is honest, steady, and alive.

In 2020, we released this deeply personal, but practical book about prayer: Prompt Me to Pray by Monica McConkey

Prompt Me to Pray by Monica McConkey presents practical tips for prayer that can be easily customized to fit our busy lives, habits, daily tasks, and even our struggles. Recognizing our littleness as an inexhaustible source of Prompts to Pray helps us to reach out humbly in prayer when we need Him most and reminds us that God can use all things for good.

The book features different approaches to heartfelt prayer, including journaling and praying out loud, with both spontaneous and classic prayers. It also includes journaling pages with specific writing prompts and prayers to customize your own personal plan for prayer, and a prayer vault of classic prayers and templates with full color pocket prayer prompts.

And now, we are offering a Self-Guided Retreat which includes the original book Prompt Me to Pray and the Retreat Companion workbook to crystallize your own customized Prayer plan, using personal and practical reminders that are unique to you!

The Retreat Companion is a 27-page booklet for your eyes only! Within these workbook pages, you can explore your most effective, consistent prompts, and practicing these prompts will most certainly lead to more consistent, heartfelt prayer as we strive to pray without ceasing. 1 Thessalonians 5:17

I love this quote from St. Alphonsus Liguori from his book How to Converse with God

Acquire the habit of speaking to God as if you were alone with Him, familiarly and with confidence and love, as to the dearest and most loving of friends. Speak to Him often of your business, your plans, your troubles, your fears– of everything that concerns you.

Do you yearn for your relationship with Jesus to feel deeper and more real?
Are you ready for your own personal season of consistent and intimate prayer from the heart?

We are called to this personal conversation with God: with Jesus …and the Father, and I think that you’ll find the Holy Spirit leading you with every step as you prayerfully read this book and journal the accompanying workbook.
