Praying in God's Will

All Christians are familiar with Jesus' good news that if we ask for anything in His name, He will grant our request (see Jn 14:14). Sister Shields gives genuine insight into making this promise real in our lives. She points out that praying in Jesus' name means praying in accord with His will, His heart, His intentions. She also points out that frequent immersion in Scripture is crucial to so uniting ourselves with the plans of Jesus. This insight is just one example of many others in this small and worthwhile book. She also discusses the sacraments, the saints, praying in tongues or wordlessly, the rosary, and fasting as an aid to intercession. The book is strewn with absorbing stories of her own experiences and those of others. You will be happy to have read this book whose central theme is God's very personal love for each one of us.
