Prayer Takes Us Home

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.

No one ever stops being a mom or a dad. So when our children become adults, we still worry about them and want to care for them. One way we can still care for them is to lift them up in prayer. When we do so, God's love for them and for us Is unleashed. We are able to replace our concern with a love that comes from the heart of God. Our Father moves mountains of worry and discouragement, leaving new refreshment and delight in its place. This book is designed for parents who want to pray for their adult sons and daughters with the kind of power that makes a real difference in matters of the heart. 
Gives parents hope, encouragement, and a renewed commitment to pray and to relate lovingly to their adult sons and daughters.
Addresses the desire to be a better parent and shows how parents can best pray for specific needs.
Each chapter ends with a series of questions for reflection and introduces a "prayer skill" that will enable parents to persist in prayer and try new ways of praying for their adult sons and daughters.

Beloved author Deacon Greg Kandra knows all too well what it is to be busy. Drawing from his own experience and those of fellow Catholics and the saints’ lives, Deacon Kandra helps us realize the importance of prayer and offers practical tips for making it a part of each day. Prayer includes regular participation in the sacraments (Mass, Confession) but is also about a constant communication with God and a way to plan our day each morning and evaluate our progress each evening. How is God showing us to spend our time? What can we do to be less busy and make room for God? This book answers these questions.
