The Way of the Rosary Novena
The Rosary is meant to be a living journey of prayer that helps Catholics weave key moments of Jesus’ and Mary’s lives into each moment of our own lives. However, the reality of the unending demands of daily life can leave us with little time, energy, or attention to find our way along this path. How do we get there? In The Way of the Rosary Novena, Shannon Wendt and eight Catholic speakers, including Katie McGrady, Fr. Malachy Joseph Napier CFR, and Jason Shanks, lead us in prayer and discuss the beauty of the mysteries of the Rosary. For nine days, we begin the Rosary together, and Shannon invites us to then find the quiet moments throughout our busy days to pray the other decades, or even one Hail Mary at a time, interweaving the story of Jesus and Mary into our daily lives. Pray the first decade now, then carry the mystery with you today.

Experience Deeper Prayer
When You Pray
You know prayer is important but still find it challenging. Perhaps it’s hard to find time, or you’re unsure what to do when you pray. Or maybe you feel discouraged by your weaknesses and your inability to overcome them. If you have any of these feelings, you are not alone. Many of the saints struggled in prayer. They were like us. But each time they fell, they got up again and learned to rely more on God’s grace. What God did in the lives of countless saints, he wants to do in the lives of ordinary people like us. And that’s what this study is about: the journey of prayer God wants to take us on. Authored and presented by Dr. Edward Sri, When You Pray also features Fr. Jacques Philippe, Fr. Josh Johnson, Fr. Gregory Pine, Sister Josephine Garrett, Fr. Donald Haggerty, and Sister Maris Stella. Study plans require a paid subscription, however this study plan is available to non-subscribing members for a limited time.
Oremus: A Guide to Catholic Prayer
Learn the Essentials of a Fruitful Prayer Life Do you find it easy to pray? Do you hear God’s voice in your daily life and know how to respond? For most of us the answer is no, and we struggle to find even a few minutes every day to pray. The good news is that you can overcome these difficulties. Oremus teaches you the essentials of an effective and fruitful prayer life. Over eight sessions you will learn the simple yet profound steps of Catholic prayer. Following Church Tradition and the wisdom of the saints, you will learn to talk to God and hear his voice in Scripture, in your heart, and in ordinary moments. You will become more aware of his close presence, will learn to overcome distractions and dryness, and will recognize desolation and consolation as normal prayer experiences. As you grow closer to God, you will also grow in your relationship with those around you.
How to Pray Like Mary
Listen—and Respond—Like Mary at the Annunciation! Mary has been called the “mother of listening.” She didn’t just hear the Word; she pondered it in light of her own relationships and circumstances and then let it transform her. After years of Bible study, best-selling author Sonja Corbitt recognized that the “mother of listening” was providing a model of prayer that has the power to revolutionize your life of prayer. Starting with Mary’s response to the Annunciation, Sonja will show you how to pray with Scripture under the guidance of the Blessed Mother. You will learn a powerful practice for daily prayer as Mary models it. Sonja draws from vivid biblical texts to show you the key to loving Scripture and deepening your relationship with God.
Pray, Decide, and Don't Worry
Following the will of God in your life is the most fulfilling thing you will ever do. When we fall in love with the Lord, everything changes. We have a desire to truly know, follow, and serve him in all that we do. However, how we put that love into action can be downright confusing and exhausting. Often there are no instant answers to the questions we ask. We can grow weary and wonder if the journey to find God’s will is worth it. How is God speaking to your heart? What are the choices that lie before you? Do you trust in his plan? Will you take a step forward without knowing fully where the road will lead? We will face these questions and more in this reading plan. We will look to stories of the saints and other practical wisdom for help, and we will hear the testimonies of Fr. Mike Schmitz, Jackie Francois Angel, and Bobby Angel for inspiration. Each day of this plan includes a featured reading to guide you through the steps of discernment, personal testimony from Fr. Mike Schmitz, Jackie Francois Angel, and Bobby Angel, and accompanying Bible verses and videos. Use the reflection questions to help you with your own discernment process, considering how you can take action in your own life.
Fr. Mike's Homilies: "Made for Worship"
Human beings are made for worship. We are designed and created to give our attention, our hearts, and our lives to whatever we perceive as the highest good. As Catholics, we know that the Highest Good is God. And we are made to worship Him...but do we know how?
