The Forty Weeks Leader's Guidebook

We provide these resources to help you find the most fruitful avenues with Forty Weeks: An Ignatian Path to Christ with Sacred Story Prayer, in whatever ministries you guide or direct. The Forty Weeks book was designed to be a self-directed prayer journey that can be experienced by an individual Catholic or Christian seeking a more personal connection with Christ in daily life. Forty Weeks is also designed to be used in group settings for parish renewal, RCIA, Campus Ministry and other adult faith formation evangelization efforts in your Catholic or Christian communities. This program guide to the Forty Weeks journey is a school of prayer and a path to reconciliation and spiritual discernment. The more people who annually make this journey in your faith community, the more dynamic your church or parish will become. You will have more volunteers, more support and more will want to join a community whose individuals know Christ personally and share his message with others.
