28 Different Ways to Pray - Paperback

by Spirituality Committee (Author)

Saint John Damascene described prayer as "the raising of one's mind and heart to God."

Prayer implies three important aspects:

1) the personal commitment to the act of prayer

2) making the time

3) discovering a way or form that deepens one's personal relationship with God

28 Different Ways to Pray offers the rich tradition and long history of the various prayer forms that people have found helpful and beneficial to their spiritual lives. Written with the awareness that there is no correct or only way to pray, this short book provides twenty-eight possible ways to consider using to enrich one's prayer life.

Forms of prayer include centering prayer, Liturgy of Hours, stations of the cross, novenas, lectio divina, the Jesus Prayer, the psalms, the Examen, and many others.
