Prayer Takes Us Home by Gerhard Lohfink; Translated by Linda M. Maloney Pdf
A lot of people would like to learn to pray all over again. Others are not so sure they ought to pray. They want to know whether prayer will help them and, more than that, whether it will be of any use at all to our world. This book gives an answer-not in the form of glib instructions, but by introducing the reader to the theology of prayer. It refers again and again to the Bible, especially the Psalms. At the same time, it speaks about personal experiences as well. Gerhard Lohfink writes in inviting, easy-to-read language, answering questions such as: "To whom do we pray?" "Does it make any sense to ask for things in prayer?" "What happens in the Eucharistic Prayer?" "What is so special about the Psalms?" "How can I practice Christian meditation?" This book offers an inviting approach to Christian prayer.
Poems as Prayers... by Ginger Grancagnolo, Ed.D. D.Min. Pdf
How do you pray? Do you say the words already written in a book? Do you stumble over the text hoping to grasp the meaning? And do those words touch your heart in a way that sometimes can be beyond what words can express? I believe the power of prayer is both in the meaning and the emotion that comes from a stirring in the soul. Prayer is the private exchange between God and us. It can happen at any time. Prayer ignites through our desire to connect to Divine Love and Wisdom and is fueled by the Holy Spirit Who lives within us.
Chronic pain is so complex with many facets; some of which we are just beginning to understand. What makes it even more difficult to understand is that each individual feels pain differently and oftentimes respond to medical treatments and therapies in paradoxical ways (me included!). Prayer and reflection can help quiet the mind, which may otherwise be over stimulated with pain signals that perpetually cycle without ceasing. It can also help provide the guidance to nurture self esteem and relationships with loved ones. Five healing prayers with reflective wisdom that portray different perspectives give insight to the person who lives with pain and to the loved ones who support them. I pray this book provides the solace you need to commune with the Heavenly Father. Share this book with your loved one and peruse the pages together over a cup of warm tea. Discuss the wisdom that unfolds within these pages, and see if you gain a greater understanding of yourselves.

Prayer is a vital part of the Christian life but people often struggle with actually getting on and doing it. This book offers 80 imaginative and creative ideas for setting up 'prayer stations', practical ways of praying that involve the senses - touching, tasting, smelling, seeing, and hearing, rather than simply reflecting, as we bring our hopes, fears, dreams and doubts to God. Developed from material tried and tested with small groups, the ideas here provide activities ranging from bubble prayers to clay pot prayers (via just about everything else in between), and have been designed to be used with grown-ups - of all ages!
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Pope Francis illuminates the Lord’s Prayer, the most important prayer in all of Christianity, offering readers a guide to living a life of meaning, purpose and strength. In conversation with Father Marco Pozza, a theologian and prison chaplain in Padua, Italy, Pope Francis offers unprecedented insight into Jesus’s most profound words, as he explores the importance of embracing social justice, benevolence, and forgiveness in our hearts and minds. Looking to address the concerns and hopes of today’s men and women, Our Father: Reflections on the Lord’s Prayer is a guide to living a life full of meaning, purpose, and strength. “We need courage to pray the Our Father,” writes Pope Francis, “to truly believe that God is the Father who accompanies us, forgives us, gives us bread, is attentive to all that we ask, clothes us even better than the flowers of the field. To believe is a big risk.” Challenging this doubt and fear, he issues a call to “dare . . . help oneanother to dare.” With excerpts from some of the Pontiff’s most cherished teachings, this beautiful work offers words of encouragement and inspiration for all who are seeking hope and direction in our often tumultuous world.
The Kiss of Jesus by Donna-Marie Cooper O'Boyle Pdf
Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle is a Catholic author, a radio and television host, and an inspirational speaker known and admired from coast to coast. Yet with all of her public exposure, she has revealed very little about her personal history, that is, until now. When she discovered that sharing her struggles gives encouragement to others, she was persuaded to write this story of her life. Growing up in a Polish-American Catholic family, Donna-Marie was blessed with hard-working parents who provided a stable home for their eight children. At times her childhood was golden and carefree, but other times it was tarnished by pain that she felt was best left unspoken as she sought God for help and strength. After she left home after high school, her path took some harrowing turns. A Vietnam veteran fiancé snapped and held her against her will. She suffered pregnancy loss, serious illness, divorce, and single motherhood. Perhaps her greatest trial was an epic custody battle in which she needed to defend both her reputation as a mother and the safety of her five children. Yet through all the dark valleys, Donna-Marie kept the fire of her faith burning. Helping her to see the beauty of the crosses in her life, and to rely on the presence and the providence of God, were saintly souls who became her friends and mentors. One of these was Blessed Mother Teresa, who was her confidant and spiritual mother for ten years.
