Summary

Since the beginning of time, since Jesus Christ founded His Church, since the new dawn of Christianity preached by the Apostles, prayer has been taught and known to be paramount in the lives of the faithful. Is that passe today? Has the need for prayer been diminished? Have we forgotten how to pray? Most everyone knows what prayer is, but not everyone knows how to pray. Father Albert Shamon brings us this absolutely vital and beautiful little book outlining Our Lady's teachings about prayer, and showing how these teachings can be applied to our everyday prayer life. He uses the messages coming from Medjugorje, a phenomenon capturing the hearts of people all over the world, to tie in the requests of Our Lady with scripture and Catholic tradition regarding prayer. A re-affirmation of the Gospels and a re-awakening of the need for prayer, this little book provides a "how to" and answers the "why". Book jacket.
