At the heart of the Bible are the Psalms, prayers from God that help us learn to pray. We hear them sung or prayed at every Mass. The Holy Spirit inspired them. Israel sang them. Christ himself prayed them, as did our Blessed Mother. These sacred hymns become our heartfelt response to God’s loving and wondrous deeds for us. Their words captivate the imagination and draw us into a deeply personal encounter with God.
Psalms: The School of Prayer is an eleven-session Bible study that will explore how the words of the Psalms captivate the imagination and draw us into a deeply personal encounter with God. At each sessions, participants will meet to view an engaging video presentation followed by a time of lively group discussion and fellowship.
