A strong proponent of simplifying prayer,
Patricia leads retreats on Ignatian prayer.
"I've spent my whole life trying to have an authentic relationship with God, and on a perpetual search for a meaningful life. I have landed on prayer for both. It is a journey that I'm still on. I hope that something in these pages will help you on your journey. In the tradition of St. Ignatius, and with the Blessed Mother, Mary, as our companion, we will examine prayer life. We'll look at prayer as a friendship evolving between you and your God, and discuss how to get a handle on our prayer life. We'll provide some tools to make the whole praying thing less daunting and more approachable."
