Let us bring our prayers to the Lord."
Each week when the community comes together for Mass, we gather
to listen to the Word, to partake of the Eucharist, and to pray.
The Prayer of the Faithful is marked by the same needs from week to
week, but it is always an opportunity to approach God collectively
in a way that reflects the richness of our particular celebration.
This series of prayers by Father Michael Kwatera is rooted in the
present moment: the liturgical season, lectionary readings, and the
needs of the church. He draws on the readings, as well as the
significance of feasts and of other celebrations. He is also
attuned to the many ways we approach God, in language that is clear
and attentive to the oral quality of the prayer.
"To place prayerful words on human lips and in human hearts is a
most sacred work," writes Father Kwatera in the introduction. The
fruit of this work is a set of texts that invites the community to
draw near to God each week in prayer.
"The Collegeville Prayer of the Faithful-"a convenient
compilation of the previously published volumes, with additional
feasts added-includes a CD-ROM of intercessions that can be easily
adapted for parish use. Each prayer is provided in a Word file that
allows users to easily personalize the intercessions for their own
parish.
"Father Michael Kwatera, OSB, PhD, is Director of Oblates and

Liturgy and is the author of several Liturgical Press books,
including "Come to the Feast: Liturgical Theology of, by, and for
Everybody "(2005), and the coauthor of "To Thank and Bless: Prayers
at Meals "(2007).""
