Testimonies from previous Prayer Schools
"I thoroughly enjoyed the Cor et Lumen Christi Prayer
School. The sessions were well planned and the teaching was
informative and entertaining. It has helped me put into words
many of my own experiences and given me practical techniques
to further develop a loving relationship with the Lord."
- Bob Harold, Surrey (May 2001)
"The Prayer School exceeded my high expectations concerning
the excellent content and information about prayer and how
to pray."
"However, I was very surprised to experience such a change
in myself by the end of the week. God touched me in a new
and special way through the week, revealing His peace to me.
This peace has stayed with me in that I find I am much more
able to come into His presence when praying and can reconnect
with Him during the day more easily. I feel more recollected
and less distracted. I feel God has shown me how he wants
me to pray at this time, which is what I wanted, so that my
prayer would be more fruitful. I have really noticed a difference
in my prayer and in my life." - Cathy Fava, Cumbria (July
2001)
