You can do-it-yourself. Fr. Michael Gaitley wrote a book that guides you through a 3 day retreat Consoling the Heart of Jesus

It's not an easy book. I think I read most of it 3 times before I tried to do it as a retreat over a long weekend. Towards the end it touches on things like Consecration to Mary, and outlines how a busy person can sustain a minimalist prayer life. It has definitely shaped my spiritual life, and I review it every year.

...and if this isn't your "thing" keep trying. Introduction to the Devout Life, Practicing the Presence of God, True Devotion to Mary, The Little Way, etc.

  • In Sinu Jesu by A Benedictine Monk
  • He and I by Gabrielle Bossis
  • Consoling the Heart of Jesus by Fr. Michael Gaitley
  • Be Healed by Dr. Bob Schuchts
  • Be Transformed by Dr. Bob Schuchts
  • Loved as I Am by Sr. Miriam James Heidland
  • Unbound by Neal Lozano

    Currently reading Unwanted by Jay Stringer, who though not Catholic not only comes highly recommended by Catholics I trust (including Dr. Schuchts) but addresses in perhaps the most useful way I've seen so far the common struggles around sexual sin.

Edit: This book was really amazing to read even as a cradle Catholic. I liked that Fr. Tobin included a lot of Scripture references throughout. And the book starts off describing what prayer is and why we need it. I felt it helped me to go deeper.

Also, Consoling the Heart of Jesus totally changed my relationship with Jesus for the better after over a decade of keeping him at arm's length.

Have you thought about reading and doing Consoling the Heart of Jesus.

It's a do it yourself retreat that you can do over a weekend. It's based off of the spiritual exercises of St. Ignatius. The schedule in the book starts Friday night and goes into Sunday, and it's an all day thing, but you can go at your own pace.
