A prayer workshop
PLW (Prayer and Life Workshops) is a service that helps you learn and deepen in the art of prayer. This learning has a highly experimental character, like a workshop: by praying we learn to pray. In a workshop we learn to enter into a personal relationship with the Lord through different prayer methods, from the first steps of simple prayer to the heights of contemplation. Since
prayer, besides being grace, in an art in regards to human nature, the Workshop is organized in a manner that offers a progressive way of learning, methodical in character, with a great deal of discipline. Friends and disciples of Christ. A life workshop
By means of a woven pattern of meditations on the Word, intensive prayer, community refflection and silencing excersises, the participants overcome, step by step, their inner anguishes and anxieties, fears and sadness…
As a result of deeply living faith and surrender, the participants slowly become filled with a peace never before imagined. Overcoming complexes, traumas, controlling your nerves, emotional stability, and joy of living. Starting from an intense contemplation of the figure of Jesus Christ, the Workshop sends the Christian into a sanctification process to become each the more like a Jesus: patient and humble like Jesus, sensitive and merciful, unconcerned with himself and concerned about others… asking each time What would Jesus do in my place?, in this way bringing about a vital transformation that will make many exclaim: my mother has changed!, our brother…! Therefore, it is also a Life Workshop. Characteristics
The Workshop commits the participant to live in three dimensions: with God, with himself, with others. In each session there are two fundamental lines: one descending, God speaks to man; and the other ascending, man speaks (responds) to God. The Workshop is eminently a lay service: most of the Guides are lay persons; all members of the Coordinating teams are lay people in close relationship with their Ministries. The Workshop is distinguished by the strict puntuality, order and discipline. The Workshop is a service:
a) Limited. Once the fifteen Sessions are completed, our objective is reached, and we leave. The people who attend the Workshop are ordinary Christian, catechists, Pastoral Ministers, Members of diverse Christian groups, those separated from the Church, excluded from the sacraments, Protestants from different denominations…
The Workshop not only contributes in building the Church but also in building a better society because it helps the unity and strength of the individual and the family. Therefore it has an evangelizing and humanitarian dimension.
