Download or read book Twenty Poems to Pray written by Gary M. Bouchard and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 2019-08-01 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing from the poetry of generations of esteemed writers Gary Bouchard shows how poems often express the longings of the human heart as a kind of prayer. Emily Dickinson, Rev. Rowan Williams, Pope John Paul II, Christina Rossetti, Robert Frost, and Fr. Kilian McDonnell, OSB, among others, offer readers an inspiring path to reflect upon and pray with poetic verse. Arranged under six engaging themes, each selection uses the words of poets as vehicles to prompt “heaven in ordinary” or to praise like “exalted manna”; to find the right “paraphrase” for your own soul or maybe sense your “soul’s blood”; to muster up from your grief or anger “reversed thunder” or dare to articulate from your own personal anguish “Christ-side-piercing spear.”

Download or read book When Poets Pray written by Marilyn McEntyre and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2019-05-28 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two dozen select prayer poems to learn from and live with Poetry and prayer are closely related. We often look to poets to give language to our deepest hopes, fears, losses—and prayers. Poets slow us down. They teach us to stop and go in before we go on. They play at the edges of mystery, holding a tension between line and sentence, between sense and reason, between the transcendent and the deeply, comfortingly familiar. When Poets Pray contains thoughtful meditations by Marilyn McEntyre on choice poems/prayers and poems about prayer. Her beautifully written reflections are contemplative exercises, not scholarly analyses, meant more as invitation than instruc¬tion. Here McEntyre shares gifts that she herself has received from poets who pray, or who reflect on prayer, believing that they have other gifts to offer readers seeking spiritual companionship along our pilgrim way.

Download or read book Poem Prayers written by and published by . This book was released on 2015-10-24 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Msgr. Charles began writing these words as conclusions to his homilies at Sunday Mass, usually summarizing three main points from each homily in the form of a prayer. The growing, positive response to the prayers by parishioners encouraged author and retired pastor Charles D. McGlinn to make the choice to publish his prayers for more than his congregation to enjoy. The efforts created this book, Poem Prayers, that feature several of his treasured poetic prayers from the past twenty-five years. The prayers are divided into groups under certain themes, for example Christian discipleship, the cross, sin and forgiveness, and the Eucharist. The poem prayers reflect the parables and teachings of Jesus as found in the scriptures, such as loving God as we should, loving one's enemies and communicating with God to learn of His will. Other prayers celebrate the feelings we experience when we desire Jesus to be near us, drawing us closer to God in trust and faith. Our hope is to enlighten readers to the wonderful gift prayer can be to unite believers with God and with others in their lives. The proceeds from book sales will go towards facilitating the operations of Nuestros Pequenos Hermanos in Miacatlan, Mexico, an orphanage providing food, clothing, medical services, housing and more for orphaned/abandoned children in Mexico. What began as a parting message to congregants has led Poem Prayers to not only reach people around the world, but also support the growth and development of faith for children in need of God's protection and love."
