Set Your Heart Free
30 Days with St. Francis de Sales Doctor of the Church
This is a parish-wide independent prayer program with opportunities for group spirituality hosted by The Way’s Hearts Afire Ministry.
- Discover a spiritual teacher who is wise and warm, a moderate and gentle companion for your spiritual journey who wrote for people with families to assist, feed, clothe, and educate…in other words, for us!
- Start each day in conversation with God with short but powerful passages inspired by St. Francis de Sales’ letters and his Introduction to Devout Life.These readings will provide spiritual focus for your day and teach you that a heart that is free—one that is not attached to its own way of doing things—is the close companion of a peaceful soul.
- A daily thought—a single line—that you can reflect on throughout your day to serve as a gentle reminder of God’s presence within the many activities and tasks that make up your day.
- End your day by turning everything over to God with a closing prayer of gratitude, plus an offering to God and a prompt to pray for others.
Will it fit my busy Fall schedule?
- No homework…just independent prayer and pondering; 5 minutes in the morning and 5 minutes in the evening to reduce anxiety, cultivate patience, and exude peace throughout your day
- Perfect for a busy Fall with an election year--quiets your mind and stills your soul so you can hear the Word of God more clearly
- Prayer Program Dates: Wednesday, October 2, through Friday, November 1, All Saints’ Day
- Two optional Saturday Mornings of Reflection on 10/19 and 11/2 available to deepen your journey
