Product Description

▼▲

Drawn from Fr. Martin's monthly column in "Give Us This Day", In All Seasons for All Reasons is a collection of essays exploring the many ways to pray. Many believers struggle with the "right" way to pray - the Rosary?, Scripture Reading?, Imaginative prayer?, Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament?. Fr. Martin contends that the right way to pray is what works best for you.

The one-page essays are divided into three sections:

A Rich Tradition - 17 essays on the Church's traditional prayers including the Hail Mary, Our Father, and Centering Prayer.
For All Reasons - 32 essays on non-traditional prayers for various reasons such as Faith Sharing, Journaling, Anger, Gratitude, Distractions, and Enemies.
In All Seasons - Special prayers for the Advent/Christmas, Lent/Easter/Pentecost, and Feasts/Other season time periods.

Publisher's Description

▼▲

The Christian longing to share anguish, fear, gratitude, and awe has found expression in many forms of prayer, beginning in Scripture and the practices and words of Jesus. Over the centuries many fruitful approaches to prayer have taken hold, but often there is a certain unease about what is right or what is best. In this welcome and welcoming book, Fr. 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.
