A prayer workshop

PLW (Prayer and Life Workshops) is a service that helps you learn and deepen in the art of prayer. This learning has a highly experimental character, like a workshop: by praying we learn to pray. In a workshop we learn to enter into a personal relationship with the Lord through different prayer methods, from the first steps of simple prayer to the heights of contemplation. Since

prayer, besides being grace, in an art in regards to human nature, the Workshop is organized in a manner that offers a progressive way of learning, methodical in character, with a great deal of discipline. Friends and disciples of Christ. A life workshop

By means of a woven pattern of meditations on the Word, intensive prayer, community refflection and silencing excersises, the participants overcome, step by step, their inner anguishes and anxieties, fears and sadness…

As a result of deeply living faith and surrender, the participants slowly become filled with a peace never before imagined. Overcoming complexes, traumas, controlling your nerves, emotional stability, and joy of living. Starting from an intense contemplation of the figure of Jesus Christ, the Workshop sends the Christian into a sanctification process to become each the more like a Jesus: patient and humble like Jesus, sensitive and merciful, unconcerned with himself and concerned about others… asking each time What would Jesus do in my place?, in this way bringing about a vital transformation that will make many exclaim: my mother has changed!, our brother…! Therefore, it is also a Life Workshop. Characteristics

The Workshop commits the participant to live in three dimensions: with God, with himself, with others. In each session there are two fundamental lines: one descending, God speaks to man; and the other ascending, man speaks (responds) to God. The Workshop is eminently a lay service: most of the Guides are lay persons; all members of the Coordinating teams are lay people in close relationship with their Ministries. The Workshop is distinguished by the strict puntuality, order and discipline. The Workshop is a service:

a) Limited. Once the fifteen Sessions are completed, our objective is reached, and we leave. The people who attend the Workshop are ordinary Christian, catechists, Pastoral Ministers, Members of diverse Christian groups, those separated from the Church, excluded from the sacraments, Protestants from different denominations…

The Workshop not only contributes in building the Church but also in building a better society because it helps the unity and strength of the individual and the family. Therefore it has an evangelizing and humanitarian dimension.

A NIGHT OF RARE BEAUTY AND BRILLIANCE.

It was a night of rare beauty and brilliance. The summer air in Alvernia was fresh and warm at the same time. The world slept in eternal peace. Everything was quiet and serene.

Brother Francis, standing on the rocks, raised his arms and dove into the chasms of faith in the immensity of God. That night, new and mysterious energies of “adhesion” appeared in his soul, new forces of profound “knowledge” and love.

Francis said nothing. He ran out of words. The words were communicated as if by sonar between two beings submerged in deep waters.

Francis’ mind was paralyzed. Nothing in his mind was distinguishable or capable of being analyzed. It was an act of totality and simplicity: Francis was “in” God. It was a deep and penetrating experience, vivid and immediate, without images, nor predetermined thoughts. There was no need to formulate a representative image of God, for God was “there,” “with” Francis, and Francis “with” God.

God was (what was he?) an infinite panorama, without walls, or doors, nourished with tenderness; a forest with a multitude of warm, loving arms ready to embrace; an air dense with golden honey; an incurable dizzy spell, as if millions of arms surrounded and embraced the beloved Francis; a river overflowing its banks and flooding the countryside.

Everything vanished. The stars disappeared; the night consumed itself. Francis also disappeared. All that was left was a You which reached far and wide, within and without.

You are Holy, you are one Lord God, who works wonders.

You are strong, you are great, you are the Almighty. You are Good, all Good, Supremely Good.

Lord God, alive and true.

You are charity and love, you are wisdom.
You are humility, you are patience, you are confidence. You are quietude, you are solace, you are happiness. You are beauty, you are gentleness.
You are our protector, guardian, and defender.
You are our strength and hope.
You are our sweetness.
You are our eternal life, great and admirable Lord.”

Francis’ “I” was irresistibly drawn to and taken by the One, ma- king it “one” with the Center. This was the great Passover. However, there was no fusion. On the contrary, Francis not only maintained his own personal identity, which was more concrete than ever, but the closer he got to God, the more diverse they became to the point where the diversity became one of disturbing profiles: “Who are you and who am I?”

Francis was immersed in the immutable and absolute essence of God. It was not a matter of God having been with Francis, rather God was with Francis. God filled him entirely. And, “in” God, there was not far, near, there, here with Francis. Brother Francis transcended time and space: distances disappeared, and Francis began to feel like the child of immensity.

Taken from the book Brother Francis of Assisi Chapter 6 “The Last Song” by Father Ignacio Larrañaga
