Course Description:
God desires you more than you can imagine.
But unless you have a real life of prayer, you'll never truly encounter him. As the Catechism of the Catholic Church says, "prayer is the encounter of God's thirst with ours" (n. 2560).
Hosted by evangelist Matthew Leonard, Introduction to Real Prayer introduces participants to the basics of prayer, it's necessity, and how to make it a part of their daily lives.
But it does a LOT more.
Matthew guides viewers through the ins and outs of vocal, meditative, and contemplative prayer, showing not just what they are, but how to do them.
He also covers the three stages of the spiritual life (which many Catholics have never heard of), as well as the the practical steps to make actual progress in the spiritual life in the easy to understand, conversational style for which he is known.
It's time to get real about prayer...and watch your life be radically transformed.

Course Description
This series is a penetrating and dynamic exploration of the classic grades of prayer from the Doctor of Prayer, St. Teresa of Avila. Beginning with the basics, it illuminates vocal, meditative, and contemplative prayer as the path to union with God.
Like a thrilling drama, it intensifies as it progresses, until it finally culminates in the ecstatic union with God for which every one of us is made.
St. Teresa of Avila's Nine Grades of Prayer is unlike any series you've ever experienced and will leave you breathless at what God has in store for you. This study is a "must" for any Catholic who wants to understand what Christ himself calls the "one thing necessary" in Luke 10.
And very few people can match Matthew Leonard's ability to clearly explain to regular Catholics the beauty and depth of St. Teresa's incredible teaching.
"Matthew is possibly the finest speaker on the spiritual life out there these days. His clarity and depth are a blessing." Fr. Rich Simon - Relevant Radio

"Mind-blowing and transforming catechesis on Catholic spirituality." Fr. Augustine
