This is a fortnightly online session of guided prayer led by the spirituality team at the London Jesuit Centre and some special guests.
Each hour-long session introduces a method of prayer, such as the Examen or imaginative prayer. Participants will be guided through the prayer, with space for silence to enter more deeply into it, and a chance to share and reflect upon each other's experience.
You only need to sign up once for all 6 sessions. We usually send out further reminders with more details about each session closer to the time.

In this series of online talks, Laurence Freeman will help us rediscover the art of reading any sacred text contemplatively, by learning to engage with the books that make up the Hebrew and Christian Bible. Christians believe the Word became flesh but it is also true, as St Bernard said, that the ‘Word takes flesh’ as something ‘alive and active’ penetrating to the core of human being. We then see why the art of reading scripture opens us to being intimately read by it within the daily changing story of our lives: the therapy of scripture. Click here for more information.
James Finley is a former Trappist monk who studied closely with Thomas Merton. He is the author of Thomas Merton's Palace of Nowhere.
"We tend to treat ourself the way we were treated". In a two hour online talk, Dr Finley walks participants through spiritual dimensions of the Gospels, showing us how they can guide and empower us to heal the traumas in our minds and hearts. In doing so, we can open ourselves to the Gospels’ spiritual depth of healing and our innate mercy toward ourselves, others, and all living things.
