PROGRAM

Introduction :
Prayer that does not lead to action is empty. Dr. Gray demonstrates how, at the end of lectio divina, we take the step of
resolutio and resolve to live out God’s love as we put our prayer into action. (Run time 31:05)

Session 1: Prayer
Prayer is one of the most basic elements of a life of faith, but it isn’t always easy to do. Though we’re taught that prayer
is a “conversation,” we often feel as if the conversation is completely one-sided. In this first session, Dr. Gray shows how
the solution to the problem of prayer can be found in the Scriptures. (Run time 28:43)

Session 2: Guigo’s Ladder


Prayer may not always be easy, but sometimes we make it more difficult than it needs to be. In this session, Dr. Gray
demonstrates how, like climbing the rungs on a ladder, following a simple order of prayer carries us from the cares of
this world to intimate conversation with God. (Run time 28:44)

Session 3: Lectio & Meditation


In reading and meditating on Sacred Scripture, we begin to ascend the ladder of Lectio Divina as we open our hearts and
minds to hear and understand God’s words to us. (Run time 29:37)

Session 4: Oratio
Using the example of St. Augustine and the Psalms, Dr. Gray teaches us how to make the most out of oratio and enjoy
the fruits of an intimate conversation with Our Lord. (Run time 30:54)

Session 5: Contemplation
The desire of the Christian’s heart is to see God. In contemplatio we rest at the pinnacle of the ladder of prayer, gazing
upon God in love. (Run time 28:09)

Session 6: Resolution
Prayer is one of the essentials of a thriving faith — why is it so elusive?

Though prayer is one of the essentials of a thriving faith, we often feel as if we’re talking to ourselves—or, worse, as if
we’re talking to no one at all. How can something so vital to the Faith be so elusive?

Now, with the clear teaching and artistry of the Augustine Institute’s Lectio series, Dr. Tim Gray masterfully uses the
discipline of Lectio Divina to show you how to make prayer an effective effort of love and intimacy. In six video sessions,
Prayer: Finding Intimacy with God captures the secret to opening our hearts and minds to Scripture as the means to hear
from God and then respond in conversation, basking in his presence and resolving to live in and through his love.
