But this service has a very precise goal: to teach others to pray in an orderly and progressive manner, in the sense that they progress from the simplest experiences of beginners to the heights of contemplation. Christians, in general, reflect a good deal on the Word of God and catechesis, but they are not taught how to pray, at least not in a systematic and practical manner. The Workshops do this through a course of 15 two-hour weekly sessions. Rather than theoretical, the source is concrete and practical. It is designed precisely as a workshop where the participants learn by working and work by learning. Our movement teaches prayer by praying.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Resolution from the Vatican<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Pontificium Concilium<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Pro Laicis<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">1607\/02\/S-61\/B-83<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1501548313317{margin-top: 40px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;border-bottom-color: #f59f1d !important;border-bottom-style: dashed !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;sub-bottom-na&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Resolution<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1497393142209{margin-top: 20px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]The prayer and life workshops had their beginning in 1984 when their founder, the Rev. F. P: Ignacio Larra\u00f1aga Orbegozo, O.F.M. Cap. Traveled though numerous countries of the world exercising his pastoral ministry; and sensing the necessity of helping souls to initiate a personal relationship with god. So they may know him, with the purpose of having each Christian become a friends and disciple of the Lord. Since then, the prayer and life workshops have had a vast expansion in various continents.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2175&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_shadow_3d&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1504968086452{margin-top: 20px !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;paragraph-space&#8221;]The prayer and life workshops constitute a service to the Church and have the primary objective of teaching the faithful how to pray in an orderly and progressive manner, through courses that are eminently practical using a workshops format, in which one learns to pray by praying, Through his example Christ draws his disciples to a life of prayer (cfr. Lk 1 1. 1)&lt;&gt;(Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2607). Besides, using the words of the ecumenical Vatican Council II : &lt;&gt; (Sacrosanctum Concilium Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, 10)<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Besides gradually introducing its members to a life of prayer, which is vitally synthesized with their ordinary daily activities, the Prayer and Life Workshops also have their own specific objectives in making those who integrate them become conscious of the dignity they have received in the sacrament of Baptism and thus their responsibility in the Church and in the world. Each workshop is transformed into a greenhouse of vocations for lay apostles at the service of their respective Dioceses and Parishes. They also transmit the Word and the presence of the Father&#8217;s love towards all men, specially those who are most in need. (cfr. Statutes, 4)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Both the Ecumenical Vatican Council II as well as the Post-conciliar Magisterium, have paid special attention to the associative forms of participating in the life of the Church, manifesting towards them their most profound esteem and consideration (cfr. Decree on the apostolate oof the laity Apostolicam Actuositatem, 18, 19 and 21; John Paul II, Post-synod Apostolic Exhortation Christifidelis Laici, 29).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In this sense, at the beginning on the new millennium His Holiness Pope John Paul The Second has written &lt; &gt; (Apostolic letter Novo Millennio inuente, 46).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Therefore:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Considering that the Pontificial Council of Laymen, through the decree dated on October 4, 1997, recognized Prayer and Life Workshops as a Private International Association of Laymen, of Pontificial Law, with a Judicial Personality, and approved their Statutes for a period ad experimentum of five years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This period having transpired and attending to the petition presented to this Dicastery dated May 20, 2002 by Ms. Margarita Cano Urcelay, International Coordinator of the Prayer and Life Workshops, requesting the definitive approval the Statutes;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Accepting, also, the modifications presented in the text of the Statutes;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Considering the extension and depth of the formation and apostolic activities developed during these years by the Prayer and Life Workshops;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Having seen the articles 131-134 of the Apostolic Constitution Pastor Bonus, on the Roman Curia, as well as the canon 312, \u00a7 1,1\u00b0 of the Code of Canonical Law.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1501548371973{margin-top: 40px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;border-bottom-color: #f59f1d !important;border-bottom-style: dashed !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;sub-bottom-na&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">The Pontificial Council of Laymen Decrees<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;668&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_shadow_3d&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]1.
