Prayer holds a central place in the season of Lent through reflection, repentance, and spiritual renewal. Our recent Lent lecture with Professor Pak discusses the significance of prayer and its effects on individuals and communities.

Professor Pak explains how prayer encompasses both personal and communal dimensions, as it guides spiritual growth and reflection. Through prayer, individuals embark on a journey of self-discovery and deepen their connection with the divine.

Furthermore, prayer serves as a powerful channel for communication with the divine. Through prayer, individuals can express gratitude, seek forgiveness, and petition for guidance and blessings. This communication fosters a sense of connection, trust, and intimacy with the divine. 

Lastly, prayer is deeply personal but can be shared within a community of faith. Professor Pak led us in an exercise where we prayed with one another. Through this shared experience, we built deeper connections and strengthened our sense of belonging within our faith community.
