A new translation of Father Rahner's book on prayer.
Karl Rahner stands in a long line of great Christian theologians
who were likewise great teachers of prayer. He has been called the
voice of Vatican II, and is acknowledged as the rare theologian
whose writings speak to the ordinary" Christian.
In "The Need and the Blessing of Prayer ," Father Rahner views
the human person as essentially one called to prayer. He also
highlights prayer as the act of human existence, the great
religious act. By encouraging people to "pray in the everyday" - to
pray regardless of the desire or mood of the moment - Rahner's
theology of the prayer of everyday life challenges us to surrender
ourselves to God so that God dwells at the very center of our
lives.
The eight chapters of "The Need and the Blessing of Prayer "
were originally sermons that Rahner gave during Lent 1946 at St.
Michal's Church in Munich, Germany. This work has been reprinted
often throughout its thirty-year history, testifying to its
enduring message. For as Father Rahner wrote in the first edition,
"If we are not supposed to cease praying, then perhaps one
shouldn't cease speaking about prayer."
Chapters are "Opening Our Hearts," "The Helper-Spirit," "The
Prayer of Love," "Prayer in the Everyday," "The Prayer of Need,"
"Prayers of Consecration, "The Prayer of Guilt," and "Prayers of
Decision.""
