Hear Fr. Anthony Gramlich, MIC, discuss the different methods of Christian Prayer, including: Lectio Divina, Benedictine Meditation, Ignatian Meditation, Franciscan Meditation, Carmelite (Teresian) Meditation, Augustinian Meditation, Thomistic Meditation, Salesian Meditation, and Marian Meditation (The Rosary).

This week, Fr. Anthony encourages us to develop a habit of prayer this Lent, as prayer is the oxygen for the soul.

In today’s homily, Fr. Chris Alar reminds us that prayer is not just something we do—it is who we are called to be. It is the lifeline between our soul and God, the “raising of one’s mind and heart to God” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2559). Prayer is communication, relationship, and covenant. It is how we learn to love the Lord and conform our human will to His divine will.
