James Martin eases these concerns with thoughtful, practical encouragement about prayer in all of its forms. In All Seasons, For All Reasons is drawn from "Teach Us to Pray," Fr. Martin's very popular monthly column in Give Us This Day.

Unit price perJust Prayer: A Book of Hours for Peacemakers and Justice Seekers - NN4966
$24.95
Unit price perJust Prayer is a four-week prayer cycle for morning and evening readings to support Christians who "hunger and thirst for justice." Patterned on the ancient monastic Hours, it offers psalms, intercessions, and reflections fashioned to strengthen a personal commitment to justice. The weekly themes are: recognizing God's command that we act justly; lamenting suffering and injustice in our world; repenting our failures and renewing our commitment to justice; and, finally, celebrating God's promise of justice lived as a new heaven and new earth. Weekly reflections encourage personal transformation by emphasizing the connection between justice action and peaceful communities.
Created with parishes, youth groups, mission trip participants, and social justice organizations in mind, Just Prayer supports hands-on service work in local communities. By repeating and building upon the prayer sequences in Just Prayer, we can conform our hearts more fully to Christ's living message of compassion and justice for the least among us.
The print edition features a soft, leather-like cover and a durable ribbon for convenient daily prayer.

The Theology and Practice of Christian Prayer
Gerhard Lohfink; Translated by Linda M. Maloney
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.
