The term Oremus is Latin for Let us Pray. Our adult formation program is based on Oremus from Ascension Press. It is an 9 week study on Catholic prayer. Over the nine weeks, you will be inspired to deepen your prayer life while learning how to open yourself to God and receive everything he wants for you in prayer. As Catholics we have a deep spiritual heritage in classsic forms of prayer, including meditation, contemplation, and the spiritual senses. These rich forms of Christian prayer allow us to “dive deep” into the oceans of God’s merciful love.
The Oremus study program teaches you the essentials of an effective and fruitful prayer life. Over the course of nine weeks you will discover how God speaks to you, even in the smallest encounters. Following the Tradition of the Catholic Church and the wisdom of the saints you will learn how to express yourself to God in prayer, and how to hear his voice.
The program will consist of daily reading and exercises in prayer so that we can become familiar with and experience the various forms of prayer. We will each use a workbook which contain these daily exercises and answer question associated with them. We will meet once a week for 90 minutes, where we will watch a video presentation by Fr. Mark Toups, and then share our thoughts and insights regarding this material.
