In All Seasons, For All Reasons

Stretch Out Your Hand

Praying Throughout the Year Volume 2 James Martin, SJ

Reflections on the Healing Ministry of Jesus

In this book, Fr. Martin offers thoughtful, practical encouragement about prayer in all of its forms. Selected from his popular column “Teach Us to Pray” featured monthly in Give Us This Day, Fr. Martin offers practical guidance and invites us to spend time in the presence of God in any form it takes, as prayer is always transformative.

These forty reflections take us deep into the heart of powerful Gospel stories, helping us hear and experience them anew so we too may stretch out our hands—to receive and to extend the remarkable healing ministry of Jesus.

“Fr. James Martin helps us see that there is no single way to pray. The important thing is to begin. This wonderful book shows us how.”

“Beautifully written and marvelously conceived. Take this book on retreat with you or read it daily for spiritual nourishment.”
