Whether you are just beginning to develop a consistent prayer practice or are looking for a new approach to spiritual growth, Ten Ways to Pray will explore a variety of traditional forms of Catholic prayer that enable you to draw closer to God and the communion of saints.

This practical introduction to ten traditional forms of prayer from the McGrath Institute for Church Life at the University of Notre Dame will help you develop a richer spiritual life that draws you closer to the triune God and the communion of saints. Carolyn Pirtle provides intriguing bits of history, engaging spiritual and theological commentary, and step-by-step guidance for trying ten distinct ways of praying that Catholics have utilized across the centuries and around the world in order to develop your own prayer practice.

These include praying:

  • with scripture
  • to consecrate time through the Liturgy of the Hours and the Angelus
  • through experience in the Examen
  • through action in the Works of Mercy
  • through the beauty of nature, art, and music
  • through silence

Praise

“I highly recommend Ten Ways to Pray for people at all stages of the Christian journey.”
Fr. Jan Michael Joncas, University of St. Thomas, St. Paul, Minnesota 
“Prayer becomes practical with Carolyn Pirtle's excellent book, Ten Ways to Pray: A Catholic Guide for Drawing Closer to God. From the what to the why to the when of various forms of prayer, Pirtle helps us improve our prayer lives.”
Michael St. Pierre, Executive Director of the Catholic Campus Ministry Association, Author of The 5 Habits of Prayerful People 
“What a delightful read! Building on the Church's liturgical prayer, Carolyn Pirtle takes us on a wonderful journey and unpacks prayer through scripture, devotion, beauty, nature, visual art, music, and more.”
Julianne Stanz, Director of Parish Life and Evangelization, Diocese of Green Bay,  
“It is one thing to build a path of explanation through such an elusive subject as prayer. And quite another thing to address such an intimate subject in a coherent manner. And yet another thing to do so, building her pathway with compassion, care, and devotion. Carolyn Pirtle accomplishes all three in this engaging book.” 
Steven C. Warner, Associate Director of the Notre Dame Newman Centre for Faith and Reason, Dublin, Ireland
