Praying with Saint Paul: Daily Reflections on the Letters of the Apostle Paul

Description

Praying with Saint Paul is a handbook of daily reflections that leads the reader into the richness of the writings of the great Apostle. The words of Saint Paul are very familiar to us from the readings of the eucharistic Liturgy. Yet, we rarely get a chance to reflect on Paul’s wisdom. This book, edited by Fr. Peter John Cameron, O.P., the editor of the U.S. edition of Magnificat, offers a kind of lectio divina—a "spiritual reading"—of Paul’s letters by which one can go deeply into the mind and heart of this great saint in a very practical, convenient, and "user-friendly" way day-by-day. You will find an entry for each day of the year that starts with a short quotation from one of Paul’s letters. It is followed by an original reflection by one of the book’s thirty-two gifted spiritual authors. Each entry concludes with a thought-provoking prayer. This volume will help you to meditate, giving deeper illumination and deepening your familiarity with one of the spiritual giants of the Church. A great way to celebrate Pope Benedict XVI’s "Year of Saint Paul" which will run from June 29, 2008, to June 29, 2009.
