AN ALPHABET OF PRAYER - R15.00
Edited by Sean Wales CSsR
The More we pray, the more we want to pray.
And we want to pray properly. The two people
who went up to the Temple to pray (Lk 18:9-14)
teach us that there is a good and bad way of
praying. A healthy hunger for prayer flows over
into a longing not only to become a prayer but
to connect our prayer with every aspect of life.
We sense that real prayer should make a real
difference to our lives.
This little book looks at many different ways
of praying and offers actual prayers to root
us in prayer-life of the faith community.
If it broadens our horizons in prayer, if it
makes some ways of praying more rooted in real
life, or if it kindles our deepest desire for
God, then it will have served its purpose.
And when you pray, remember those who shared
their prayer with you in these pages.
