Synopsis

This intimate collection of prayers invites readers to pray with the saints using words they wrote or prayed themselves. Featuring more than two hundred prayers, this prayer book also offers brief biographical material on each of the ninety-five saints included, allowing the reader to learn about the lives of the saints while connecting with them on an intimate level through prayer.

By praying with St. Francis to praise the goodness of the Lord or with St. Edith Stein to express her passionate love of God, readers can get in touch with not only the human side of the saints, but also the deeper, richer prayer life. In the daily events of everyday life, readers can forge a connection to the saints and to God through heartfelt, faith-filled prayer.

About this title

From the Publisher:

Through the ages, Christian saints have created some of the world's most poignant and inspiring prayers, and their lives have provided timeless lessons of faith. Now Loyola Press brings these two gifts together in Praying with the Saints, a book that encourages readers to cultivate a deeper understanding of the saints through exploration of their lives and of the prayers they wrote or prayed themselves.

From the Author:

"I've collected prayers of the saints for years. I haven't a clue where I found most of them. Torn from church bulletins; copied from old novena, funeral, and Mass cards; jotted in notebooks; scribbled in my day planner—they have been part of my life for most of my life. I've sometimes shared a few with friends (I know of several non-Catholics who now use St. Julian of Norwich's prayer beginning "All shall be well" on a regular basis) but I gathered them primarily for my own edification and enjoyment. It is with great delight that I have been given the opportunity to share some of them with you."
