speaks to us and how we should reply. It gives Bible teachings
about prayer, spotlighting the prayer of Jesus. It describes the
ACTS of prayer (Adoration, Contrition, Thanks, Supplication), and
ways of praying (meditation, vocal prayer, etc.). It addresses issues
like prayer to the saints, examines difficulties in prayer, and shows
how prayer joins us to God now and forever.
WE BELIEVE... A SURVEY OF THE CATHOLIC FAITH

Catechism of the Catholic Church and following the same
structure as the Catechism: Creed, worship, Christian life, and
prayer. The course studies belief in God, the Bible, the life and
teaching of Jesus, the Church, Mary, the saints, life after death, the
Sacraments, moral living, and Catholic prayer. Foreword by

the reasons for doctrines like the Real Presence, confession,
sacramentals, and devotion to the saints.
