In these modern times, we are easily distracted by the cares of the
world. We quickly forget those who have died, even those souls who
were once so very dear to us in life. We even fail to be mindful of
our own salvation and our entire purpose to love, serve, and know
God through His Catholic Church. Draw Us after Thee was lovingly
compiled in the hopes of helping us to remember these urgent
realities. This collection organizes together many of the beautiful
practices which Catholics could reap so many spiritual rewards
from, whether for the merit of their own souls or for the holy
souls in purgatory, and in a way that is simple and manageable,
even to those with very busy lives. It includes daily prayers and
devotions that carry indulgences-taken word-for-word from The
Raccolta-as well as a place to record personal traditions and
important events, such as birthdays, anniversaries, and feast days.
Draw Us after Thee will hopefully aid us to a much closer
relationship to God, Our Blessed Mother, the saints, the angels,
and our dear friends in purgatory. Blessed be His Holy Name
For Christians, prayer is the main way we communicate with God -
but what can we do when we struggle with the question of how to
pray or feel our prayer lives are lacking? Seven Ways to Pray
explores how by looking to ancient prayer practices of
Christianity, we can find fresh ways to relate to God today.
Discovering these tried and tested tools will not only strengthen
our relationship with him but will bring us joy, contentment,
growth and transformation. With warmth and encouragement, Amy
Boucher Pye takes us through seven ways to pray to God: praying
with the Bible, receiving and extending forgiveness, practicing
God's presence, listening prayer, the prayer of lament, praying
with the gospels imaginatively and the prayer of examen. Guiding us
through their history, she shows us how easily we can make these
prayer practices part of our lives and use them to grow closer to
God. Along with prayer exercises to help us engage directly with
God, there are questions for individual reflection or small-group
discussion, making Seven Ways to Pray perfect to use as a family,
in churches or with friends. This is a book for anyone who has ever
wondered how to pray or is looking for ways to revitalise their
prayer lives. It will give you an understanding of some of the
oldest prayer practices of Christianity, and equip you with the
tools you need to renew and refresh your relationship with God.
Come along, and discover Seven Ways to Pray.
