About Pray Fully:

In Pray Fully, Faehnle and Jaminet share basic prayer principles that have helped them to become women of prayer:

. make time for personal, daily communication with Jesus. spend time meditating and engaging in other spiritual practices such as adoration or the Examen. recognize the critical times of each day when you need a “prayer boost”. live deeply in the sacraments and enrich your life with sacramentals. record your intentions and thank God for answered prayer

Encouraging stories and practical advice—including tips from the lives and writings of the saints—questions for personal reflection and private meditation, and journaling space will help you develop a lifelong dialogue with God.
