28:28Now PlayingWhat is prayer? And maybe more importantly for preachers—what are we inviting people into when we stand in the pulpit and speak about it? As “Preach” continues its Lent 2026 series, we turn to the three classical pillars that shape the season: prayer, fasting and almsgiving. In this first conversation, focused on prayer, Ricardo da Silva, S.J. is joined by Amy Ekeh, Director of Mission Advancement for the Apostles of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, retreat leader, author and adjunct instructor in the Department of Theology and Religious Studies at Sacred Heart University.
Amy is the author of several books, including:
Stretch Out Your Hand: Reflections on the Healing Ministry of Jesus:
Come to Me, All of You: Stations of the Cross in the Voice of Christ
Lent: Season of Transformation
