PRAYER FOR YOUR CHURCH

 Connectivity with the Church around the world

 

Lord, I lift up the Church universal. Father, we claim the power of Your name over us so that we will be one, as You and Your Son are one. We want Your joy in full measure just as Your Son, Jesus, prayed for us. Help us live as though we are not of this world; sanctify us by Your word. May we be brought to complete unity so that the world will know the truth of the gospel. (Jn. 17:11-23)

Why Not Take a Prayer Retreat? PDF Print E-mail


As we come upon a new year, many of us take time to reflect, to recharge, to refocus. Often we try to “get away” to do this, taking a prayer retreat. Getting away is a powerful thing. Blocking out the noise of everyday life causes us to better hear God speak.


We highly recommend prayer retreats to you. Whether for a day, or a few days, any length will prove valuable. Find a place near you and commune with God. Christian camps often have facilities to use for this purpose. There are many Catholic retreat centers or monasteries that will provide a basic room, beautiful grounds, and some even emails for a modest price. Even the CPLN has a retreat center associated with our ministry.

To aide you in taking a retreat, here are a few items you can download or print out to make your experience a good one.

“Connecting with God at Prayer Retreats” by Cynthia Bezek (free downloadable audio file of her Empowered 2007 seminar)

www.praytoday.org, website of Pastor Richard LaFountain, loaded with suggestions of activities to do on a retreat.

"Oasis" issue of Pray! magazine. This issue from 2004 had covered the theme of taking a prayer retreat.

Harvest Prayer Center. A retreat center, run by Jon and JoLyn Graf, associated with CPLN. It has two private cabins (modern) with full kitchens, a prayer chapel on a 4.5 acre lake and hiking trails on 65 acres of woods and meadows.
