Prayer: Our Living Fountain of Renewal

Prayer: the Mission of the Church was originally written as a series of talks for some days of reflection for laypeople. As such it is a splendid text for lay formation. Danielou initiates the reader into true prayer as the task of every Christian. From there, he takes the reader all the way to mission with practical suggestions along the way. The text is very accessible, but will reward even experienced readers. There are sections discussing Advent, John the Baptist, Hope and its necessity in contemporary society, humility and corrupt humility, reflection on the Our Father, and an extended consideration of the Holy Spirit. In addition, there is a profoundly Trinitarian reflection on the Redemption.This book would make excellent spiritual reading or reading during Advent, and would be valuable to anyone interested in lay formation.
