St. Paul Center - The Bible and Prayer in Houston, TX

The St. Paul Center's Journey Through Scripture parish Bible study, The Bible and Prayer is being presented in Houston, TX Dear Friend in Christ, Beginning Tuesday evening February 10th 2015 and Thursday morning February 12th The Bible and Prayer, the newest scripture study from the St. Paul Center's Journey Through Scripture parish-based Bible study program, is being presented in Houston, TX. Journey Through Scripture is a dynamic, parish-based Bible study series incorporating live presentation, multimedia, small group discussion and some outside reading.  It’s a way for ordinary Catholics to grow in their knowledge of the Scriptures and deepen their understanding of the riches of the Catholic faith. The Bible and Prayer explores the human quest for God, unveiling the true nature of prayer: what it is, how it works, and the bountiful blessings available to those who walk the path of intimacy with God. It looks at the prayer lives of the towering figures of salvation history in both the Old and New Testaments showing the different forms our communication with God can take. Decidedly practical, The Bible and Prayer also examines the ins and outs of the three types or modes of prayer every Catholic is called to engage in: vocal prayer, meditation, and contemplation. Lectio Divina, Liturgy of the Hours, and many other essential characteristics of prayer are also covered. The study culminates in an exploration of the prayer life of Jesus Christ, the ultimate example of how to commune with our Father. The goal of The Bible and Prayer is to help Catholics begin a process on earth that leads to nothing less than sharing in the divinity of God in heaven. (2 Pt 1:4) There will be two studies offered. One is on Tuesday evenings at 7:00 p.m. beginning February 10th. The other will be on Thursday mornings at 10:00 a.m. beginning February 12th.  The Bible study will be held at Christ the Redeemer Catholic Church (11507 Huffmeister Road, Houston, TX 77065) in Room 201. The course will run for six sessions that are consecutive, so please try and make the first lesson to get your materials.
