A Retreat In Your Daily Life

The Week of Guided Prayer (WoGP) is an easy, mini retreat amidst your daily routine, without using your vacation time! Lasting a week, it begins on a Sunday afternoon (Taster session) when you, the pilgrim, will learn two prayer methods:

1. Lectio Divina
2. Ignatian Contemplation

You will be assigned a prayer guide who will journey with you throughout the Week and guide you on these two prayer methods.

You will be taught to pray the Scriptures on your own for half an hour daily. Your prayer guide will meet you one-on-one for half an hour every day of that Week (Monday to Friday) in the Church or virtually to talk about your prayer experience based on the Scripture text that was given to you to pray the day before. The meeting time is mutually agreed upon between you and your guide. There are four time slots that you may choose from based on your convenience - morning, afternoon, early evening or late evening. All sharing with your guide will be treated in the strictest confidence.

The WoGP typically closes on the following Saturday afternoon (Closure session) when we gather as a group for general sharing and fellowship.
