For more than 50 years, Father Stephen Valenta, a Conventual Franciscan Friar, has given pastoral counsel and spiritual direction to thousands in need. Fr. Stephen observes that the biggest obstacle blocking our spiritual growth is the daily battle between the natural "head" and the supernatural "heart". This blockage is rooted in our bond to the natural "self".

Unless we remove this blockage, the Holy Spirit is not free to move us from the natural to the supernatural. Through the experiential knowledge of prayer with the heart, our whole being can come to understand the experiences of true faith, trust, love and forgiveness.

Recorded before a live audience, this 3 cassette or 4 CD audio album captures Fr. Stephen presenting an eight part workshop that will help you take the necessary steps to make this life changing journey. If you genuinely desire to more fully enter into a deeper richer prayer life that is empowered by the Holy Spirit, then this program series is just the answer you have been looking for!
