Teresian Prayer Group
“No one ever took God for his friend that was not amply rewarded; for mental prayer is, in my opinion, nothing else but being on terms of friendship with God, frequently conversing alone with Him, who, we know, loves us.”
St Teresa of Avila
Inaugural Meeting of the Teresian Prayer Group
Carmelite Priory, 41 Kensington Church Street, London
Tuesday 25th September, 6.30 for 6.45 p.m. to 8.15 p.m.
With a talk on St Teresa’s Invitation to Prayer by Fr Christopher Clarke OCD, Prior of Kensington and time for discussion, refreshments and finding out about the Group
The aim of the Group is for its members to grow in prayer, following the teaching of St Teresa of Avila. The Group is organised by the London Secular Carmelites, under the direction of Fr Matt Blake, OCD. Monthly meetings will typically have a distinguished Carmelite speaker, a time of quiet prayer, and small group discussion. Membership of the Group is open to all, is free and without any need for prior registration.
The initial programme for the Teresian Prayer Group will run from October to May with meetings for one and a half hours, normally on a Tuesday evening at 6.45 p.m. at Kensington Priory. The October meeting will be on 9 October and, as an open meeting, will offer a further opportunity to join the group.
