Book excerpt: During Lent, worshipers around the world join together in a common theme of Christian faith, practicing self-reflection and remembrance of the sacrifice Jesus Christ made on Calvary. It is not only a time of individual reflection, but a time of communal reflection, reminding us that we are a global community of believers, and we have a responsibility to one anther and to our world. Olu Brown, author of best-seller Hope: An Advent Journey, has written the new book for Lent 2022, Our Lenten Prayer, for individuals, small groups, and church-wide Lenten studies.During this Lenten season, the author encourages the reader to lean fully on God and practice the spiritual discipline of trust. Rev. Brown believes there is so much we don't know or understand, and so much we have to learn. He writes that our attempts to be God are futile exercises that lead to nothing but disappointment and disillusionment. Rev. Brown believes that God is challenging us to fully release and trust God for all things in our lives during this Lenten season. It doesn't mean we literally stop and cease to do anything, but we live and operate with the mindset that God is in control and has our best interests at heart even when we don't fully understand what God is doing or perceive God's presence in our lives and world. We need to be open and willing to ask God for help and direction. Don't worry, however. Olu reminds the reader that God is available to lead and guide us every step of the way. Chapters include:?The Season of Lent?Jesus's Model Prayer?Hypocrisy?An Inclusive God and Holy God?Here and Now! Kingdom Come?Your Will?Daily Bread?Forgiveness?Fighting Temptation?Your Personal Doxology?Transformation

Book Synopsis A Cry for Mercy by : Henri J. M. Nouwen
Download or read book A Cry for Mercy written by Henri J. M. Nouwen and published by Image. This book was released on 2013-11-20 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A reissue of one of Henri Nouwen’s most powerful and most personal books: prayers that “reveal a fearful heart, a cry for mercy, rays of hope, the power of the Spirit, the needs of the world, and finally gratitude.” In his continuing search for a deeper understanding of the spiritual life, Henri Nouwen traveled twice to the Trappist monastery in the Genesee Valley of upstate New York. His first visit inspired The Genesee Diary, a moving account of his daily experiences and of contemporary monastic life. When he returned five years later, the familiar, comfortable daily rhythms of the contemplative life led him to concentrate his attention on meditation. He disciplined himself to write a prayer each day, an endeavor that became this extraordinary book. In these daily prayers, Father Nouwen confronts his own inner chaos as he tries to create a space in his heart where God can dwell. Powerful, searching, and painfully honest, Nouwen’s prayers, confessions, and petitions point to the final goal of all spiritual life: to live unceasingly in the presence of God. Like The Wounded Healer and The Return of the Prodigal Son, A Cry for Mercy is filled with freshness and insight. It speaks directly to the contemporary Christian’s need for a meaningful spirituality, a disciplined inner life, and a real sense of the divine presence in everyday life.

Book Synopsis Lent Catholic Prayerbook by : J C D Fr Peter O Akpoghiran
Download or read book Lent Catholic Prayerbook written by J C D Fr Peter O Akpoghiran and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-05-13 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The holy season of Lent can be observed in many and various ways. Scripture and the Fathers of the Church insist above all three forms, fasting, prayer, and almsgiving. These forms of Lenten observances express sorrow for one's sins and conversion of heart. They are also as means of obtaining forgiveness of sins. The purpose of this book is to aid clergy, religious, and laity in studying the scripture, in meditating, and in praying more fervently during Lent. Thus, scriptural reading, meditation, and prayer have been assigned, in this book, for each day from Ash Wednesday to Holy Saturday. The readings, meditations, and prayers selected in this book have Lenten themes to them in order to preserve the penitential spirit of the season. Each week of Lent has been assigned to a specific mystery of the Passion and Death of Jesus Christ. And each day of the week is further divided into three parts. The first part is a scriptural passage, the second part is meditation, and the third part is a prayer related to the theme of the week. This book is intended to assist one to fulfill on a daily basis the obligation of prayer during the season of Lent.

Book Synopsis Thoughts In Solitude by : Thomas Merton
Download or read book Thoughts In Solitude written by Thomas Merton and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thoughtful and eloquent, as timely (or timeless) now as when it was originally published in 1956, Thoughts in Solitude addresses the pleasure of a solitary life, as well as the necessity for quiet reflection in an age when so little is private. Thomas Merton writes: "When society is made up of men who know no interior solitude it can no longer be held together by love: and consequently it is held together by a violent and abusive authority. But when men are violently deprived of the solitude and freedom which are their due, the society in which they live becomes putrid, it festers with servility, resentment and hate." Thoughts in Solitude stands alongside The Seven Storey Mountain as one of Merton's most uring and popular works. Thomas Merton, a Trappist monk, is perhaps the foremost spiritual thinker of the twentiethcentury. His diaries, social commentary, and spiritual writings continue to be widely read after his untimely death in 1968.

Book Synopsis The Twelve Steps and the Sacraments by : Scott Weeman
Download or read book The Twelve Steps and the Sacraments written by Scott Weeman and published by Ave Maria Press. This book was released on 2017-11-10 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of a 2018 Catholic Press Association Award: Sacraments. (Second Place). In the first book to directly integrate the Twelve Steps with the practice of Catholicism, Scott Weeman, founder and director of Catholic in Recovery, pairs his personal story with compassionate straight talk to show Catholics how to bridge the commonly felt gap between the Higher Power of twelve-step programs and the merciful God that he rediscovered in the heart of the sacraments. Weeman entered sobriety from alcohol and drugs on October 10, 2011, and he's made it his full-time ministry to help others who struggle with various types of addiction to find spiritual wholeness through Catholic in Recovery, an organization he founded and directs. In The Twelve Steps and the Sacraments, Weeman candidly tackles the struggle he and other addicts have with getting to know intimately the unnamed Higher Power of recovery. He shares stories of his compulsion to find a personal relationship with God and how his tentative steps back to the Catholic Church opened new doors of healing and brought him surprising joy as he came to know Christ in the sacraments. Catholics in recovery and those moving toward it, as well as the people who love them will recognize Weeman's story and his spiritual struggle to personally encounter God. He tells us how: Baptism helps you admit powerlessness over an unmanageable problem, face your desperate need for God, and choose to believe in and submit to God’s mercy. Reconciliation affirms and strengthens the hard work of examining your life, admitting wrongs, and making amends. The Eucharist provides ongoing sustenance and draws you to the healing power of Christ. The graces of Confirmation strengthen each person to keep moving forward and to share the good news of recovery and new life in Christ. Weeman's words are boldly challenging and brimming with compassion and through them you will discover inspiration, hope, sage advice, and refreshingly practical help.
