Deepen your intimacy with God—one week, one prayer, one quiet moment at a time.
If you long to feel closer to God but struggle to quiet your mind or know where to begin, Draw Near, O Lord offers a thoughtful and guided way forward. This 52-week journey helps you cultivate a meaningful, steady rhythm of prayer through weekly reflections and daily prayer practices rooted in Scripture, the wisdom of the Catholic Church, the teaching of Saint Thomas Aquinas, and the lives of the Saints.
As you move into four postures of prayer (stillness, softness, simplicity, and surrender), you will both be drawn to the Lord and draw close to Him through the richness of the Church’s traditions, which have helped millions of believers across the centuries slow down, listen deeply, and encounter God.
Every day invites you into a different prayer practice:
- Sunday: Scripture-guided prayer
- Monday: Rote prayer
- Tuesday: Spontaneous prayer
- Wednesday: Imaginative prayer
- Thursday: Contemplative prayer
- Friday: Saint-guided prayer
- Saturday: Reflective prayer
With its warm, reflective tone and guided structure, Draw Near, O Lord makes a meaningful gift for Christmas, Easter, Confirmation, RCIA candidates, Baptism, or anyone beginning or renewing a deeper walk with God.
Start this yearlong commitment to prayer and enter into God’s presence, savor His abiding peace, and grow in love, trust, and faith as you draw near to Him.
