Online registrations opened Sunday for Pray 2010, a three day program envisioned by Brisbane Archbishop John Bathersby to reinvigorate the prayer life of Catholics. "I have often stressed the importance of worship as being the anchor point of our relationship with God amidst turbulent and often busy lives," Archbishop Bathersby said in The Catholic Leader.
"If we are to change our own lives and make an impact for the better in the world, then it is essential that we cultivate a spiritual heart that gives us an awareness and willingness to respond to the promptings of the Holy Spirit."
The comprehensive program from July 7-10 will feature more than 300 workshops, 40 keynote speeches and 130 presenters.
Presenters of international standing and reputation, such as Dr Donna Orsuto, Monsignor Paul McPartlan and Benedictine Father Lawrence Freeman, will appear alongside Australians like Benedictine Sister Hilda Scott (seen on ABC TV series The Abbey), Jesuit Father Frank Brennan, and Byron and Francine Pirola.
Franciscan Father Stan Fortuna, whose rap music and preaching proved a hit with young people at World Youth Day in Sydney last year, will also be returning.
