Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. As this title implies, praying is something that has to be learned, if it is to serve Gods purpose in our lives. Prayer begins with God whose invitation into a living relationship with him calls forth from us a continuing response to his redemptive love, which is always at work in the world. Mother Mary Clares practical guidance dispels a common misconception of prayer as the passive alternative to engagement with the needs of the world and humanity, and shows it to be, on the contrary, the most urgent and relevant task a Christian can undertake in union with Christs saving work.Originally given as a talk to Roman Catholic novices, Learning to Pray has retained its popularity for more than half a century and has been adapted for secular readers. As this title implies, praying is something that has to be learned, if it is to serve Gods purpose in our lives.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. This book uncovers what the apocalyptic writings in the Bible were aiming to reveal about Gods action in the world in the age when they were composed. It encourages us to think how their message might be interpreted for people of faith in the present age, which is facing threats at least as serious as those which seemed about to overwhelm believers, whether Jewish or Christian, at the time the apocalyptic texts were written. What is important is the message of hope which accompanies the proclamation of Divine Judgement. Jesus repeatedly urges his disciples to be alert to the signs of the times and to endure steadfastly whatever disasters and betrayals those times may bring.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. This book is about finding our spiritual home in God and how that helps us to lead a life of honesty and genuine love towards the rest of humanity and the planet that sustains our physical lives. A person comes home to God by learning how to walk by faith instead of being driven by fear; by finding freedom of spirit through accepting whatever yoke of discipline fits their situation. In this way a person comes not only to themselves, but to God: to a living knowledge of God. Through this understanding we reach the realization of God as our true home; someone who is always there when we turn to Him, who welcomes us back no matter how far we stray, or for how long. Our true home, our safe haven, the place where we are fully loved, is in God.Drawing on Townroes retreat talks, these essays span many decades, but the universal truths on which they are founded resonate through time and through the shifts and changes of our increasingly complex society. This book is about finding our spiritual home in God and how that helps us to lead a life of honesty and genuine love towards the rest of humanity and the planet that sustains our physical lives.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The slow progress of the churches in the twentieth century towards the unity for which Christ prayed is measured chiefly by official records of conferences, debates, declarations and agreements. What are less often recorded and rarely noticed at the individual relationships between one Christian and another of different confessions. Such personal encounters, sustained by mutual attraction, profound respect and above all by prayer, make a contribution which cannot be measured to the healing of wounds inflicted by centuries of division on the Body of Christ. This short study explores with care and sensitivity the spiritual friendship between an English Anglican and an Italian Roman Catholic, both women dedicated to the love and service of God, and both now commemorated in the Calendars of their several Churches.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. How often we use expressions like, thank you for doing that, youre such an angel, without really thinking about it, referring to angels as helpful and rather sweet, possibly with a picture in mind of a tall female with big feathery wings. Despite this typecasting, scripture reveals angels as somewhat fearsome messengers from God who must constantly reassure people not to be afraid. The messages they bring are for the benefit of God's people, for salvation and healing. In this exploration of angels, Sister Raphael reflects on her reading of Bible passages and related texts to examine how angels might lead us into a greater understanding of God's love and purposes for us all.

Condición: new. This is a reflection on the challenges and opportunities facing contemporary churches, emphasizing the need for a contemplative approach to reshape church life and mission. The author reflects on the beauty and fragility of the church, while addressing contemporary challenges and opportunities for renewal. He argues that we need to redefine what 'church' means, and re-evaluate our traditional assumptions about its structure and function. Worship and praise are crucial in shaping the church's identity and mission, and the church's existence, its life, ministry and renewal are shaped in the way of Jesus Christ as led by the Holy Spirit in the world. A contemplative approach encourages humility and wisdom in church practices, focussing on being before God. The church's ministry and structures need to adapt, but also to nurture unity and community, embracing a contemplative approach that integrates present realities with future aspirations. The author discusses many of the challenges experienced by today's church, and seeks solutions in the concept of a contemplative church in the way in which we engage both with each other and with the church as a whole.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. The cultivation of an inner life of prayer has always formed an essential part of the Christian way. Many long for silence and stillness, yet the words 'contemplative prayer' can seem to denote some specialist method of prayer. Sandy Ryrie, using the more accessible phrase 'prayer of silence', draws on Church tradition and on his own experience to describe this wordless way of praying. The short chapters of this book were written as occasional papers for a network of interested individuals, and are now published in book form. They could profitably be used one at a time for reflection. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. This series of heartfelt, thought-provoking meditations originated as daily talks focussing a week-long pre-Lent retreat given for the Sisters of the Love of God at Fairacres Convent in 1982. The intensity of Fr Coutts' words focus us on God and his Son, on his mercy and redeeming love for us, no matter how unworthy we think we are. Indeed our very unworthiness is a matter for rejoicing, since the most unworthy are also the most blessed. There are frequent instances in the text that ask us to pause to consider or meditate; this is an aid to prayerful meditation on our lives and the gifts of the Spirit rather than simply a narrative, and it can form the basis for reflection and spiritual growth at any time.
