Theology Class: Say it to God: In Search of Prayer – “What does forgiveness have to do with prayer?”


 

The Rev. Dr. Luigi Gioia, Theologian in Residence

This class is part of a larger Lenten book study of Say it to God: In Search Of Prayer by Fr. Luigi Gioia, Theologian in Residence. In the book, Fr. Gioia provides a welcome encouragement to all those who feel the need to freshen their practice of prayer. For Fr. Gioia, prayer is not about methods or techniques, but trusting that God is truly interested in everything that happens to us and wants to hear about it.

The book leads the reader into the theological aspects of prayer and how it relates to Christ, to the Holy Spirit and to the Church. This is done without using complex theological concepts but simply through scriptural quotations. Chapters are kept brief intentionally to make the book suitable for daily reading over the Lenten period.

With a foreword by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Say it to God demonstrates that the everyday, even the most mundane of tasks and situations, can be applied in deepening our practice of prayer.

You are welcome to join us in person on the Fifth Floor of the Parish House or via Zoom. Please contact Fr. Gioia for details.
