Download or read book Overcome with Paschal Joy written by Mark G. Boyer and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-06-30 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lent-Easter seasons cover one-fourth of the year, or 25 percent of the liturgical year. One of the many things we do as Roman Catholics is sing Lenten and Easter hymns. During Lent, we express our sorrow for sin as we pray, fast, and give alms. During Easter, we shout Alleluias at the end of many hymns to express our praise of God for having raised Christ from the dead. Thus, those who observe Lent and Easter sing religious hymns written for each season. The sounds of Lenten hymns in minor keys give way to Easter hymns in major ones. This book presents an exercise for every day of Lent and Easter that combines the daily Scripture texts from the Lectionary for Mass with religious hymns sung during Lent and Easter. It is designed to be used by individuals for private prayer or by families for public prayer. A six-part exercise is offered for every one of the 135 entries: (1) the liturgical day, (2) the daily Scripture texts, (3) a verse from a traditional hymn, (4) a reflection, (5) a question for personal meditation, and (6) a concluding prayer.

Download or read book Forty Days of Prayer New written by Kit Cummings and published by . This book was released on 2015-02-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a result of his passion for helping people, Kit created and authored The Power of Peace Project, a program which is bringing reconciliation and peace to inmates, rival gang members and opposing factions inside some of the toughest maximum security prisons, and is now spreading to prisons and inner city schools across the nation. Kit also recently launched The Power of Peace Productions, Inc. and partnered with The Catalyst TV Network. Kit serves as an instructor with the Georgia Department of Corrections; a teacher for The Atlanta Mission; an advisor to Project KARMA, an organization devoted to youth gang intervention; as well as serving on the advisory board with HOPE worldwide Atlanta, an organization devoted to helping those in need... Kit spreads much needed, life-changing good news to the corporate world, the prisons, the schools and the streets. In this book, Kit takes you on another forty-day journey, and this time we will seek spiritual breakthrough together with seven new steps that lead us to look for God's answers on a daily basis. Many people pray. Many people even pray daily. And some pray daily and really cry out to God. Why then, are so many "church folks" so stressed, worried and fearful? Why are so many Christians filled with doubt and dread, when they are consistently praying to God? Kit believes that the answer lies in focus and attention--or lack thereof. He believes people are sincere and that they really want help. But he also believes that they have fallen into the trap of seeing things the same old way, after years of thinking the same old way, and they are now unable to see God's answers right in front of them. This new project is about opening our eyes and adjusting our lens, so that we can see our glorious God doing his powerful work every day.
