BV209 B75
The purpose of this book is to discuss the nature and ways of prayer, not with scientific objectivity, but from the point of view of the individual, looking at it as it appears to the individual. In this way it is hoped to put the soul in position to deal with most of its own difficulties. Further, the primary purpose is not so much to instruct the reader as to encourage the individual to press on in prayer, and to induce him to seek further information from more detailed and advanced works.

Approach to Prayer
van Zeller, Humbert OSB

Dom Humbert van Zeller is quite incapable of entertaining subtlety where simplicity will do, and his treatment of prayer will be especially welcomed by all those who have been taught to regard prayer as rather complex communication between two complex people. Prayer is not a matter of systems, suggests Dom Humbert; it is an exercise of love, and souls who look upon prayer as a system can hardly help making a cult of success in its performance.

Father Balthasar's presentation of prayer is that it enables us...both to unlearn the artificial and to learn the natural ways of prayer…The author makes clear that the whole thrust of our being is toward God. Down to the darkest depths of our being, we yearn for union with God. And prayer is an expression of that yearning; it is our effort to communicate with God.
Prayer
Sr. Sid from Judy, Fest Day 1966
BV215.W43
A book about you, and God, and the two-way conversation between you that is what the Christian life is all about. You can learn to talk with God openly, happily, freely, often in the kind of complete communion and understanding that warms the heart.

This book is intended to be a series of object lessons for the use of those who are learning the art of communing with God. Each prayer begins with reflections on the topic under consideration and then passes on to the expression of acts of the will. The prayers are suggestive only; yet in dull moments and cold moods, they may also help to enlighten the beclouded mind and to stimulate the sluggish will.

Intended for all Catholics, but especially for priests and religious, this book is a…practical treatment of…prayer. The author stresses the need for interior or mental payer. Basic to prayer is that it is conversation - prayer is the conscious relationship with an intimate friend...

The subjects of these meditations are the ordinary things of everyday life. They are so much a part of our common experience that we tend to disregard their spiritual significance.

There must be a pure and honest way of contemplating things; these things which the Creator has shaped to tell of his glory and which the Redeemer has sanctified through his Incarnation. Water, wood, fishes, the morning dew, the cock crowing at dawn, should all be able to inspire our prayer. Clothes and flowers, perfumes and pearls, the wind whirling past, the bread on the table, the jug, the chair and roof... all these things have been sanctified, all these things have been loaded with blessings and diving inspiration by the Word.

The Christian who has a rosary in his hands is within an ancient tradition, for no other scheme of prayer has been so widely used in the Christian West. As one becomes familiar with its use, the prayers represented by the beads gradually recede to form a kind of 'background music,' and the mysteries into which it is divided are before the mind as though one were looking at religious pictures or ikons. Thinking about the mysteries outside of prayer profoundly enriches the use of prayer, and is in fact essential to the whole exercise.

Here he uses the Seven Last Words of Christ on the Cross as scriptural mantras. Rather than relaxing in a void, he fills that void with the presence of divinity.

In the first 15 centuries in Catholic history, resting in here-and-now loving awareness of God was normal as breathing. A more complex form of "mental prayer" became standard practice. Contemplative prayer, simple prayer, with centuries of tradition to guide it, is one of the great graces of our time. Today's home is founded on unusual as well as traditional patterns. Each home can and should become a domestic church- the place where father, mother, and children, or single parents with children, or unmarried person with friends, or groups of religious can come together to celebrate their unique relationships with God. Many of the prayers in this book have been written for the traditional home with ritual roles for the mother and father

DESCRIPTION/ NOTES These prayers are primarily intended to be used by a person who is ill. At the same time, those who visit and minister to the sick can find them in an expression of their sentiments which are sometimes difficult to reveal. Through these expressions of common faith, the patient and the visitor will extend the boundaries of their relationship, no matter how casual or intimate. Praying Our Experiences is the practice of reflecting on and entering honestly into the day-to-day events of our lives to become aware of God's Word in them, and to offer ourselves through them to God. In this book the author gives a positive rationale and provides practical suggestions for using life experiences as the content of our prayer.

In clear and often delightful prose, Michael Casey recaptures an ancient approach to contemplative prayer that transforms it from an 'activity' to a way of life. Although grounded in the perennial spiritual wisdom of the great BV210.2 .C368 1996 teachers of the ancient Church, Toward God is much more than a historical study. It inspires modern readers to discover and experience again those truths that transformed civilization.

Here are one hundred ways of giving thanks for our food in a glorious collection of ancient and contemporary graces from many traditions. The authors gathered these blessings in their travels to monasteries, and they are inscribed by Christopher Gausby in calligraphy reminiscent of the manuscripts of medieval Europe. The author was born into a Buddhist family in Japan in 1923, the theologian entered the Catholic Church in 1948, and was later ordained to the priesthood within the Order of Discalced Carmelites in 1957. Drawing on the images, stories, and insights of eastern and Western spiritual traditions, the author considers prayer a conversation, as listening and resting in the divine. Her message includes both an uncompromising call to repentance and a proclamation of the joyous message of the kingdom of heaven.
