Riassunto

This simple, inspirational book – an ideal gift buy – contains the best known and most universally meaningful prayers of Pope John Paul II, leader of almost 1 billion Catholics worldwide.

It comes with an introductory meditation which shows the essential place of prayer in the development of the spiritual life, the growth of the family and of a relationship with God.

Sections of short prayers follow, each section gathered around a theme – these include prayers on God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, the Church, Family, Peace, Home, Special Days and Seasons, those who have died and the Saints. Throughout each section are Bible quotes linked to the theme.

Dalla quarta di copertina:

Hope in the heart and truth for the mind...

There are few world leaders with as punishing a regular schedule as Pope John Paul II. Yet daily he maintains a burning enthusiasm for prayer and reflection. "Prayer is not one occupation among many," the Pope says. "It is at the centre of our life in Christ."

Collecting his best prayers and meditations under more than a dozen sections – for use in everyday settings at home and church -'Praying with Pope John Paul II' is an invaluable aid to the prayer lives of ordinary people.

A companion to the best-selling 'Agenda for the Third Millennium' – HarperCollins's collection of the Pontiff's best sermons and speeches – 'Praying with Pope John Paul II' provides a treasure chest of the wisdom of one of Christianity's most inspiring leaders.

PRAISE FOR 'AGENDA FOR THE THIRD MILLENIUM'
"This book ... has that wide overarching vision which many people find absent from modern life. A best of Wojtyla."
